Karaoke Track: Goodbye Earl by The Chicks (Sweet Georgia Brown) - Karaoke Nerds

Maryann and Wanda
were the best of friends

All through their
high school days

Both members of the 4-H
club

Both active in the F.F.A.

After graduation
Maryann 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 her
bruise

Well she finally got the
nerve to file for divorce

She let the law take it from
there

Right away Maryann
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

They tasted alright to me
Earl

You feelin' weak why don't
you lay down and sleep Earl
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 wrapped up in

that tarp Earl

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 at.a roadside stand
Out on highway '09
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 is that alright

Let's go out to the lake Earl
We'll pack a lunch

And stuff you in the trunk
Earl

Well is that alright

Good let's go
for a ride Earl hey
Well hey hey hey

Ah hey hey hey

Well hey hey hey
