《Goodbye Earl》歌词

[00:00:00] Goodbye Earl - Countdown Singers

[00:00:01] Written by：Dennis Linde

[00:00:16] Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends

[00:00:20] All through their high school days

[00:00:24] Both members of the 4H club both active in the FFA

[00:00:32] After graduation

[00:00:33] Mary Anne went out lookin' for a bright new world

[00:00:40] Wanda looked all around this town and all she found was Earl

[00:00:49] It wasn't two weeks after she got married that

[00:00:53] Wanda started gettin' abused

[00:00:56] She'd put on dark glasses or long sleeved blouses

[00:01:01] Or make-up to cover a bruise

[00:01:05] Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce

[00:01:09] And she let the law take it from there

[00:01:12] But Earl walked right through that restraining order

[00:01:16] And put her in intensive care

[00:01:22] Right away Mary Anne flew in from Atlanta

[00:01:26] On a red eye midnight flight

[00:01:30] She held Wanda's hand as they worked out a plan

[00:01:34] And it didn't take 'em long to decide

[00:01:37] That Earl had to die goodbye Earl

[00:01:45] Those black-eyed peas they tasted alright to me Earl

[00:01:53] You're feelin' weak

[00:01:56] Why don't you lay down and sleep Earl

[00:02:01] Ain't it dark wrapped up in that tarp Earl

[00:02:14] The cops came by to bring Earl in

[00:02:17] They searched the house high and low

[00:02:21] Then they tipped their hats and said thank you ladies

[00:02:25] If you hear from him let us know

[00:02:29] Well the weeks went by and spring turned to summer

[00:02:33] And summer faded into fall

[00:02:36] And it turns out he was a missing person who nobody missed at all

[00:02:46] So the girls bought some land and a roadside stand

[00:02:50] Out on highway 109

[00:02:54] They sell Tennessee ham and strawberry jam

[00:02:58] And they don't lose any sleep at night 'cause

[00:03:02] Earl had to die goodbye Earl

[00:03:10] We need a break let's go out to the lake Earl

[00:03:18] We'll pack a lunch and stuff you in the trunk Earl

[00:03:26] Is that alright

[00:03:28] Good

[00:03:29] Let's go for a ride Earl
