Well 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, who's gonna take the blame?
The way Odessa do me, I got to move and change my name
Singing, 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
Yes, 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
Singing, 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
I bring home the bacon, she says she want steak
Give her cherry pie, she says she want cake
Give her a diamond ring, she says it's a fake
Give her all I got, but she won't give me a break
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
I bring home the bacon, she says she want steak
Give her cherry pie, she says she want cake
Give her a diamond ring, she says it's a fake
Give her all I got, but she won't give me a break
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
Ease up off me woman
So I give her the world, she wouldn't take it on a bet
Yelling since I met her, and 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
Yes and she got a mouth, put a junkyard dog to shame
Singing, 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, lighten up and let it go
Ease up off me woman, lighten up and let it go
She got big brown eyes, big head on a solid frame
Yes and she got a mouth put a junkyard dog to shame
