Goodbye Earl - Countdown Singers[00:00:00]
Written by:Dennis Linde[00:00:01]
Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends[00:00:16]
All through their high school days[00:00:20]
Both members of the 4H club both active in the FFA[00:00:24]
After graduation[00:00:32]
Mary Anne went out lookin' for a bright new world[00:00:33]
Wanda looked all around this town and all she found was Earl[00:00:40]
It wasn't two weeks after she got married that[00:00:49]
Wanda started gettin' abused[00:00:53]
She'd put on dark glasses or long sleeved blouses[00:00:56]
Or make-up to cover a bruise[00:01:01]
Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce[00:01:05]
And she let the law take it from there[00:01:09]
But Earl walked right through that restraining order[00:01:12]
And put her in intensive care[00:01:16]
Right away Mary Anne flew in from Atlanta[00:01:22]
On a red eye midnight flight[00:01:26]
She held Wanda's hand as they worked out a plan[00:01:30]
And it didn't take 'em long to decide[00:01:34]
That Earl had to die goodbye Earl[00:01:37]
Those black-eyed peas they tasted alright to me Earl[00:01:45]
You're feelin' weak[00:01:53]
Why don't you lay down and sleep Earl[00:01:56]
Ain't it dark wrapped up in that tarp Earl[00:02:01]
The cops came by to bring Earl in[00:02:14]
They searched the house high and low[00:02:17]
Then they tipped their hats and said thank you ladies[00:02:21]
If you hear from him let us know[00:02:25]
Well the weeks went by and spring turned to summer[00:02:29]
And summer faded into fall[00:02:33]
And it turns out he was a missing person who nobody missed at all[00:02:36]
So the girls bought some land and a roadside stand[00:02:46]
Out on highway 109[00:02:50]
They sell Tennessee ham and strawberry jam[00:02:54]
And they don't lose any sleep at night 'cause[00:02:58]
Earl had to die goodbye Earl[00:03:02]
We need a break let's go out to the lake Earl[00:03:10]
We'll pack a lunch and stuff you in the trunk Earl[00:03:18]
Is that alright[00:03:26]
Good[00:03:28]
Let's go for a ride Earl[00:03:29]
