Lyrics
0:01Dixie Chicks
0:01Goodbye Earl
0:16Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends
0:20All through their high school days
0:25Both members of the 4H Club
0:28Both active in the FFA
0:32After graduation Mary Anne went out
0:36Lookin' for a bright new world
0:40Wanda looked all around this town
0:43And all she found was Earl
0:49Well it wasn't two weeks after she got married
0:53That Wanda started gettin' abused
0:57She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses
1:01And make-up to cover a bruise
1:05Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce
1:09She let the law take it from there
1:13But Earl walked right through that restraining order
1:16And put her in intensive care
1:22Right away Mary Anne flew in from Atalnta
1:26On a red eye midnight flight
1:30She held Wanda's hand
1:32As they worked out a plan And it didn't take long to decided
1:37That Earl had to die
1:42Goodbye Earl
1:46Those black-eyed peas
1:49They tasted all right to me
1:57Why don't you lay down and sleep Earl
2:01Ain't it dark
2:04Wrapped up in that tarp Earl
2:14The cops came to bring Earl in
2:17They searched the house high and low
2:21Then they tipped their hats
2:23And said Thank You ladies if you hear from him let us know
2:29Well the weeks went by
2:30And Spring turned to Summer
2:33And Summer faded into Fall
2:36And it turns out he was a missing person
2:40Who nobody missed at all
2:46So the girls bouth some land
2:49And a roadside stand
2:51Out on Highway 109
2:54They sell Tennessee ham and strawberry jame
2:58And they don't lose any sleep at night
3:01'Cause Earl had to die
3:06Goodbye Earl
3:10We need a break
3:13Let's go out to the lake Earl
3:17We'll pack a lunch
3:21And stuff you in the trunk Earl
3:25Well is that all right
3:28Good Let's go for a ride
3:32Earl hey
3:41Hey
