Mary Ann 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 Ann went out lookin' for a bright new world 
Wanda looked all around this town and 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 and long sleeve blouses 
And make-up 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 

Right away Mary Ann 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 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 let us know' 

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 

So the girls bought some land and a roadside stand 
Out on highway 109 
They sell Tennessee ham and strawberry jam 
And they don't lose any sleep at night 'cause 

Earl had to die 
Goodnight 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 all right 
Good let's go for a ride 
Earl hey 
Well hey, hey, hey 
Aw, hey, hey, hey 
Well, hey, hey, hey
