Maryanne and Wanda were the best of friends, all through their highschool days 

Both members of the four H club, both active in the FFA 
After graduation 
Maryanne went out, looking for a bright new world 
Wanda looked all around 
this town, and all she found was Earl 

Well it wasn't 2 weeks after she 
got married that Wanda started getting abused 
She put on dark glasses, and 
long sleeved blouses, and makeup to cover her 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 Maryanne flew in from atlanta on a red eye, midnight flight 

She held Wanda's hand, and they worked out a plan, and it didn't take them 
long to dicide 
That Earl had to die 
Goodbye Earl 
Those black eyed 
peas, they tasted alright to me, Earl 
You feelin' week? Why don't you lay 
down and sleep, Earl 
Aint it dark, wrapped up in that tarp, Earl? 


The cops came by to bring earl in, they searched the house high and low 

Then they tipped thier hats and said thank you ladies, if you hear from him, 
let us know 
Well, the weeks went by and spring turned to summer and summer 
faded into the fall 
And it turns out he was a missin person who nobody 
missed at all 

So the girls bought some land at a road side stand, down 
on highway 109 
They sell tennesee ham and strawberry jam, and they don't 
lose any sleep at night 
Cause Earl had to die
Goodbye Earl 
We need a 
break 
Lets go out to the lake Earl 
We'll pack a lunch, and stuff you in 
the trunk, Earl 
Is that alright? Good! Lets go for a ride, Earl. Hey 


Well, hey hey hey 
Aww hey hey hey 
Well, hey hey hey
