Heartbreak Town Lyrics

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 graduatin 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 gettin' abused.
She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses
and makeup 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 planand 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 darkDixie Chicks - Heartbreak Town - http://motolyrics.com/dixie-chicks/heartbreak-town-lyrics.html
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...
Lets go out to the lake Earl
We'll pack a lunch, and stuff you in the trunk, Earl
Is that alright? Good! Lets go for a ride, Earl. Hey!

Well, hey hey hey!
Aww hey hey hey!
Well, hey hey hey
