Cover art for Goodbye Earl lyrics by Chicks, The

What a song. It is written in such a way that ALL of us think that Earl truly does deserve to die. If nothing else, The Dixie Chicks brought domestic abuse into a new, more public light. And it exemplifies vigilante justice, and how it sometimes works for the best. Sure, this song is a series of hyperboles, but it is still awesome, and has a great meaning behind it. I hate country music, but I love this.
