Lyrics Goodbye earl Dixie Chicks

Goodbye earl


Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends
All through their high school days
Both members of the 4H Club
Both active in the FFA

After graduation Mary Anne 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 getting abused
She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses
And make up to cover a bruise

Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce
She let the law take it from there
But Earl walked right through that restraining order
And put her in intensive care

Right away Mary Anne flew in from Atlanta
On a red eye midnight flight
She held Wanda's hand as 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 all right to me Earl
You're 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 and a roadside stand
Out on Highway 109
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 all right
Good! Let's go for a ride
Earl Hey

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Dixie Chicks are an American country music group formed in Texas in 1989. The trio consists of Natalie Maines (lead vocals), Emily Strayer (banjo, guitar) and Martie Maguire (fiddle, mandolin). Initially known for their traditional country sound, the Dixie Chicks gained international recognition with albums like "Wide Open Spaces" (1998) and "Fly" (2000), which sold millions of copies worldwide. Their success was marked by numerous Grammy Awards, including five in the category "Best Country Album". In 2003, the Dixie Chicks became embroiled in controversy due to Natalie Maines' anti-war remarks during a concert in London. This led to a strong negative reaction from some fans and the loss of support from some country radio stations. Despite the controversy, the group remained active, releasing albums such as "Taking the Long Way" (2006) and "Gaslighter" (2020). The Dixie Chicks are considered one of the most influential country bands of recent decades, thanks to their catchy music, energetic performances, and courage in expressing their opinions.
