When Edith and Earl renamed the Double E They nearly made history. The locals rose up and some of them were mad as hell 'Cause it used to be the Double L.
Change comes slow in the country. When you're new there's a lot of distrust. Years fly by uneventful. Memories turn to dust.
Meanwhile Granny has got her bright colors on And the sunshine in her eye. Cruising by the bars and honkey tonks where she met grandpa And caught that young man's eye.
Dusty white Eldorado, Cruising through the trees. Slipping through the shadows Of what used to be.
