๐ Lyrics
Marianne and Wanda were the best of friends
All through their high school days
Both members of the 4-H Club
Both active in the FFA
After graduation, Marianne went out
Looking 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 getting abused
She put on dark glasses, long sleeved blouses
And make-up to cover her bruise
Well, she finally got the nerve and filed 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, Marianne 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 'em long to decide
That Earl had to die
Goodbye, Earl
Those black-eyed peas
Tasted alright to me, Earl
You feeling 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 n' 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
Goodbye, 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, alright, go
Let's go for a ride, Earl
Hey
Well, hey, hey, hey
I said, hey, hey, hey
Oh, hey, hey, hey
All through their high school days
Both members of the 4-H Club
Both active in the FFA
After graduation, Marianne went out
Looking 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 getting abused
She put on dark glasses, long sleeved blouses
And make-up to cover her bruise
Well, she finally got the nerve and filed 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, Marianne 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 'em long to decide
That Earl had to die
Goodbye, Earl
Those black-eyed peas
Tasted alright to me, Earl
You feeling 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

Then they tipped their hats and said

And summer faded into fall
And it turns out he was a missing person

Well, alright, go

Hey
Well, hey, hey, hey

Oh, hey, hey, hey
