Story behind the song
Hoping that things might be a little different since the Dixie Chicks came out with "Earl" letting it all hang out about the abuse. These days nobody wants to hear about drinking or heartbreak- they want 'positive' 'upbeat' tunes.
Lyrics
SINCE THE DIXIE CHICKS KILLED EARL You gotta turn on Classic Country If it's the truth you wanna hear You gotta listen to a 'Golden Oldie' Lord, just to cry in your beer We stick our heads in the sand, and we just pretend That it's a positive, upbeat world Well, maybe thing'll be different now.. Aw, since the Dixie Chicks killed Earl! (Chorus) Cause the cheatin' and the lyin' and the up-all-night-acryin' Haven't changed since way back then And who could tell those stories better... Than Haggard and Jones and Loretta Lynn? Whoa, the steel guitars they used to cry out their hearts For every broken hearted boy and girl This could've been a Giant Leap for Mankind.... Aw, since the Dixie Chicks killed Earl! Nobody wants to talk about drinkin' no more Or bein' made to look like a fool Ah, but they're still out there, in the bars,everywhere Cryin' on an old bar-stool Well, I guess they think, if we don't talk about it We'll think it's a brand new world! Well, maybe things'll be different now... Aw, since the Dixie Chicks killed Earl! Yeah, maybe things'll be different now Aw, since the Dixie Chicks killed Earl! Written by: Betty L. Johnson
