“Goodbye Earl”
Dixie Chicks
Well it wasn't 2 weeks
after she got married
that Wanda started getting abused,
She put on dark glasses,
and long sleeved blouses,
and makeup to cover her bruise,
Well she finally got the nerve
to file for a divorce,
she let the law take it from there,
But Earl walked right through
that restraining order,
and put her in intensive care.


“Used to Love Her”
Guns ‘N’ Roses
I used to love her,
But I had to kill her,
I used to love her,
But I had to kill her,
I knew I’d miss her,
So I had to keep her,
She’s buried right in my backyard
