And all she found was Earl
They sell Tennessee ham and strawberry jam
Well, it wasn't two weeks after she got married
Out on Highway 109
All through their high school days
After graduation Mary-Ann went out
She held Wanda’s hand as they worked out a plan
Lookin' for a brand new world
Both members of the 4H Club
And it turns out he was a missing person
Well, she finally got the nerve to file for divorce
Then they tipped their hats and said, "Thank you, ladies
She let the law take it from there
Good, let’s go for a ride, Earl, hey
Right away Mary-Ann flew in from Atlanta

Ain’t it dark, wrapped up in that tarp, Earl
And make-up to cover a bruise
Oh, hey, hey, hey
If you hear from him let us know”
And put her in intensive care
Well, hey, hey, hey
Goodbye, Earl, those black eyed peas
Mary-Ann and Wanda were the best of friends
She put on dark glasses, long sleeve blouses
‘Cause Earl had to die
Lets go out to the lake, Earl, we’ll pack a lunch
Who nobody missed at all
Spring turned to summer and summer faded into fall
Both active in the F.F.A.

And stuff you in the trunk Earl, well, is that alright?
But Earl walked right through that restraining order
Wanda looked all around this town
The cops came by to bring Earl in
Goodbye, Earl, we need a break
That Wanda started gettin’ abused
That Earl had to die
And they don't lose any sleep at night
And it didn't take ‘em long to decide
Why don’t you lay down and sleep, Earl
Well, the weeks went by and
They searched the house high and low
Well, hey, hey, hey
They tasted alright to me Earl, you’re feelin’ weak
On a red eye midnight flight
So the girls bought some land and a roadside stand
