Hey, guys. This song is called Goodbye Earl by the Dixie Chicks, and it's one of my favorites. It's a funny song... disturbing in some ways... but funny. Here's the lyrics, enjoy.
__Goodbye Earl__
MaryAnn and Wanda
were the best of friends,
all through their highschool days.
Both members of the 4H club,
both active in the FFA.
After graduation MaryAnn went out,
looking for a bright new world.
Wanda looked all 'round this town,
but all she found was Earl.
Well it wasn't two weeks
after she got married
that Wanda started gettin' abused.
She put on dark glasses, 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 MaryAnn
flew in from Atlanta
on a red-eyed midnight flight.
She held Wanda's hand,
and they worked out a plan.
It didn't take them long to decide
that Earl had to die.
Goodbye, Earl.
Those black-eyed peas?
They tasted alright to me, Earl.
You feelin' weak?
Why don't you lay down and sleep, Earl.
Ain't 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 their hats
and said "Thank you, ladies.
If you hear from him, you let us know."
Well weeks went by
and spring turned to summer,
and summer faded into fall.
It turns out he was a missing person
who nobody missed at all.
Well the girls bought some land
at a roadside stand
back on Highway 109.
They sell Tenessee ham
and strawberry jam
and they dont lose any sleep at night,
'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.
Is that alright?
Good! Let's go for a ride, Earl.
Hey!
Oh hey hey hey,
Oh hey hey hey,
Oh hey hey hey.
