She let the law take it from there
That Earl had to die
And summer faded into fall
They searched the house high and low
Well it wasn't two weeks after she got married
Who nobody missed at all
And it turns out he was a missing person
Well the weeks went by and spring turned to summer
'Cause Earl had to die
Out on highway 109
Goodbye Earl, we need a break
Right away Maryanne flew in from Atlanta
And it didn't take 'em long to decide
Let's go out to the lake Earl, we'll pack a lunch
So the girls bought some land at a roadside stand
Both members of the Four H club
Goodbye Earl, those black eyed peas
And they don't lose any sleep at night
Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce
And stuff you in the trunk Earl, well is that alright
You're feelin' weak, why don't you lay down and sleep Earl?
That Wanda started gettin' abused, she put on dark glasses
If you hear from him let us know"
She held Wanda's hand and they worked out a plan
Then they tipped their hats and said, "Thank you ladies
And put her in intensive care
The cops came by to bring Earl in
They sell Tennessee Ham and Strawberry Jam
Ain't it dark, wrapped up in that tarp Earl?
On a red eye midnight flight
They tasted alright to me Earl
Wanda looked all around this town and all she found was Earl
And long sleeved blouses and make up to cover her bruise
Both active in the FFA
But Earl walked right through that restraining order
After graduation Maryanne went out lookin' for a bright new world
