I've got Odessa on my mind, I stay worried all the time
Wish I didn't hurt so much
but I don't have that kind of luck
It's a low-down dirty shame now I can't even hear her name
So I'm selling off my pride with Odessa on my mind

I've got Odessa in my head, I think I'd like to wake up dead
Then I'd finally take my rest
and get this weight up off my chest
Yes, I know I'm talking bad
but I've done' lost the best I had
Ain't no way to walk no line with Odessa on my mind

I've got Odessa on my mind, I think I rather would be blind
Than to see her walk away, how much pain can one fool take?
See them lights out in thе field
a testament to things mеn yield
But I ain't got nothing but time and Odessa on my mind

I've got Odessa in my head
sometimes I'd like to wake up dead
Then I'd finally take my rest
and get this weight up off my chest
Yes, I know I'm talking bad
but I've done' lost the best I had
Ain't no way to walk no line with Odessa on my mind
