G
I got a woman, Odessa is her name
GEmFCG
She got big brown eyes, big head on a solid frame
G
Yes and she got a mouth put a junkyard dog to shame
G
If the river flood, woman say I brung the rain
GEmFCG
If the quake shake, now who's gonna take the blame?
G
The way Odessa do me, I got to move and change my name
G
Ease up Odessa, ease up and take it slow
G
Ease up Odessa, woman turn your lamp down low
GEmFCG
Ease up off me woman, lighten up and let it go
G
Been firing off her mouth since way before she learned to crawl
GEmFCG
Can't tell Odessa nothing, she already knows it all
G
Don't venture no opinions, sure don't wanna start no brawl
Yeah, Odessa know it all, she knows it all better than me
GEmFCG
Don't need to make no baby, already got a family
G
Talkin' me and Odessa and her big old mouth make three
G
Ease up Odessa, ease up and take it slow
G
Ease up Odessa, woman turn your lamp down low
GEmFCG
Ease up off me woman, lighten up and let it go
G * G * *-single strum
So I bring home the bacon, she says she want steak
G * G *
Give her cherry pie and she says she want cake
G * G *
Give her a diamond ring, she say it's a fake
G * G * G * G * G * G *
Give her all I got, but she won't give me a break C'mon

Ease up Odessa, woman just give it a rest
GEmFCG
Ease up off me woman, gonna yell us both to death
