PREFORMAT

I got a woman, Odessa is her name

 She got big brown eyes, big head on a solid frame

 Yes and she got a mouth put a junkyard dog to shame

If the river flood, woman say I brung the rain

 If the quake shake, now who's gonna take the blame?

 The way Odessa do me, I got to move and change my name

  Ease up Odessa, ease up and take it slow

  Ease up Odessa, woman turn your lamp down low

  Ease up off me woman, lighten up and let it go

 Been firing off her mouth since way before she learned to crawl

 Can't tell Odessa nothing, she already knows it all

 Don't venture no opinions, sure don't wanna start no brawl

Yeah, Odessa know it all, she knows it all better than me

 Don't need to make no baby, already got a family

 Talkin' me and Odessa and her big old mouth make three

  Ease up Odessa, ease up and take it slow

  Ease up Odessa, woman turn your lamp down low

  Ease up off me woman, lighten up and let it go

  * * *-single strum

So I bring home the bacon, she says she want steak

Give her cherry pie and she says she want cake

Give her a diamond ring, she say it's a fake

Give her all I got, but she won't give me a break C'mon

  Ease up Odessa, ease up and draw a breath

  Ease up Odessa, woman just give it a rest

  Ease up off me woman, gonna yell us both to death

So I bring home the bacon, she says she want steak

Give her cherry pie and she says she want cake

Give her a diamond ring, she say it's a fake

Give her all I got, but she won't give me a break C'mon

  Ease up Odessa, ease up and draw a breath

  Ease up Odessa, woman just give it a rest

  Ease up off me woman, gonna yell us both to death

 So I give her the world, she wouldn't take it on a bet

 Been yelling since I met her, woman ain't done yelling yet

Odessa won't you tell me, why the hell you so upset

Got a big legged woman, Odessa is her name

 She got big brown eyes, big head on a solid frame

 And she got a mouth put a junkyard dog to shame

  Ease up Odessa, ease up and take it slow

  Ease up Odessa, woman turn your lamp down low

  Ease up off me woman, lighten up and let it go

  Ease up off me woman, lighten up and let it go

  Ease up off me woman,

  Ease up off me woman,

  Ease up off me woman, lighten up and let it go
