Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends
All through their high school days
Both members of the 4H club, both active in the FFA
After graduation, Mary Anne went out looking for a bright new world
Wanda looked all around this town and all she found was Earl
[Verse 2]
Well, it wasn't two weeks after she got married that
Wanda started getting abused
She'd put on dark glasses and long-sleeved blouses
And makeup 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
[Verse 3]
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
Those black-eyed peas, they tasted alright to me, Earl
You're feeling weak? Why don't you lay down and sleep, Earl?
Ain't it dark wrapped up in that tarp, Earl?
[Verse 4]
The cops came by 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"
[Verse 5]
Well, the weeks went by and spring turned to summer
And summer faded into fall
And it turns out he was a missing person who nobody missed at all
[Verse 6]
So the girls bought some land at a roadside stand
Out on Highway 109
They sell Tennessee ham and strawberry jam
And they don't lose 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 and stuff you in the trunk, Earl
Well, is that alright? Good, let's go for a ride, Earl, hey
[Outro]
Well, hey, hey, hey
Oh, hey, hey, hey
Well, hey, hey, hey
