[A] Marion and Wanda [Dm] were the best of friends [A] all through the high school [E] days.
[Am] Both members of the 4-H club, both active in [Em] the [A] FFA.
After graduation, [D] Marion was looking [A] for a brand new [E] world.
[Am] Wanda looked all around this town and all she [E] found [A] was her.
But it wasn't two weeks [Dm] after she got married that [A] Wanda started getting [E] views.
She [A] put on dark glasses [D] and long sleeved blouses [A] and makeup [E] to cover up [A] her roots.
When she finally got the nerves to fight for whatever she liked, Wanda took it from [E] there.
[A] But Earl walked right through that frustrated daughter and put her in [E] a town called [A] Care.
[F#m] Right away, Marion [E] flew away from Atlanta on [D] her red-eyed midnight [A] flight.
[F#m] She held Wanda's hand as [E] her work dawned and planned and [D] it didn't take them long to decide
[A] that Earl had to die.

So [F#m] the girls [E] bought some land on the roadside, staying [D] on Highway [A] 109.
[F#m] XL Tennessee, hey [C#m] I'm in the strawberry jam and [D] they told her to get to sleep [A] at night
cause Earl had to die.
[D] [A] [E] Goodbye [D] Earl, we [A] did our best.
Let's go back to [E] the way [D] it was.
Hey [A] fellas, stop feeling so [E] [D] triangle.
It's [A] an old adage, shut your lips and go [E] for a ride.
[A]
Ride.
