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

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
