Mary anne and wanda were the best of friends<br>All through their high school days<br>Both members of the 4h club<br>Both active in the ffa<br>After graduation mary anne went out lookin'<br>For a bright new world<br>Wanda looked all around this town<br>And all she found was earl<br><br>Well it wasn't two weeks<br>After she got married that<br>Wanda started gettin' abused<br>She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses<br>And make-up to cover a bruise<br>Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce<br>She let the law take it from there<br>But earl walked right through that restraining order<br>And put her in intensive care<br><br>Right away mary anne flew in from atalnta<br>On a red eye midnight flight<br>She held wanda's hand as they<br>Worked out a plan<br>And it didn't take long to decided<br><br>That earl had to die<br>Goodbye earl<br>Those black-eyed peas<br>They tasted all right to me earl<br>You're feeling weak<br>Why don't you lay down<br>And sleep earl<br>Ain't it dark<br>Wrapped up in that tarp earl<br><br>The cops came to bring earl in<br>They searched the house<br>High and low<br>Then they tipped their hats<br>And said 'thank you ladies<br>If you hear from him let us know'<br><br>Well the weeks went by and<br>Spring turned to summer<br>And summer faded into fall<br>And it turns out he was a missing person<br>Who nobody missed al all<br><br>So the girls bouth some land<br>And a roadside stand<br>Out on highway 109<br>They sell tennessee ham<br>And strawberry jame<br>And they don't<br>Lose any sleep at night 'cause<br><br>Earl had to die<br>Goodbye earl<br>We need a break<br>Let's go out to the lake earl<br>We'll pack a lunch<br>And stuff you in the trunk earl<br>Well is that all right<br>Good let's go for a ride<br>Earl hey
