Goodbye Earl

歌詞

(Verse) Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends All through the high school days Both members of the 4H club Both active in the FFA After graduation Mary Anne went looking For a bright new world Wanda looked all around this town And all she found was Earl Well it wasn't two weeks After she got married that Wanda started getting abused She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses And make-up to cover a bruise Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce She let the law take it from there But Earl walked right through that restraining order And put her in intensive care Right away Mary Anne flew in from Atlanta On a red eye midnight flight She held Wanda's hand as they Worked out a plan And it didn't take em' long to decide (Chorus) That Earl had to die Goodbye Earl You're feeling weak Why don't you lay down And sleep Earl? (Verse) The cops they came to bring Earl in They searched the house High and low Then they tipped their hats And said "Thank you ladies If you hear from him let us know" Well, the weeks went by and Spring turned to summer Summer faded into fall And it turns out he was a missing person that nobody missed at all So the girls bought some land And a roadside stand Out on highway 109 and sell Tennessee ham And strawberry jam And they don't Loose any sleep at night (Chorus) Cause Earl had to die Goodbye Earl We need a break Let's go out to the lake, Earl We'll pack a lunch stuff you in the trunk, Earl Well is that all right Good, let's go for a ride, Earl RIDE! Yeah
