Maryanne and Wanda were the best of friendsAll through their high school daysBoth members of the 4-H clubBoth active in the FFAAfter graduation Maryanne went outLooking for a bright new worldWanda looked all around this townAnd all she found was EarlWell it wasn't two weeks after she got marriedThat Wanda started getting abusedShe put on dark glasses, and long sleeved blousesAnd makeup to cover her bruiseWell she finally got the nerve to file for divorceShe let the law take it from thereBut Earl walked right through that restraining orderAnd put her in intensive careRight away Maryanne flew in from Atlanta On a red eye, midnight flightShe held Wanda's hand, and they worked out a planAnd it didn't take them long to decideThat Earl had to die...Goodbye EarlThose black eyed peas, they tasted alright to me, EarlYou feelin' week? Why don't you lay down and sleep, EarlAin't it dark, wrapped up in that tarp, Earl?The cops came by to bring Earl inThey searched the house high and lowThen they tipped their hats and said thank you ladiesIf you hear from him, let us knowWell, the weeks went by and spring turned to summer And summer faded into the fallAnd it turns out he was a missin person Who nobody missed at allSo the girls bought some land at a road side standDown on highway 109They sell Tennessee ham and strawberry jamAnd they don't lose any sleep at nightCause Earl had to die...Goodbye EarlWe need a break...Lets go out to the lake EarlWe'll pack a lunch, and stuff you in the trunk, EarlIs that alright? Good! Lets go for a ride, Earl. Hey!Well, hey hey hey!Aw hey hey hey!Well, hey hey hey
