Roselee and Odes

[Verse 1]
Odes loved the bottle before he found Roselee
And she found a better man in him, they raised a family
When I met him he was a preacher, in a Southern Baptist church
And I never heard him raise his voice, I never heard him curse

[Verse 2]
He just loved her in the mornin' 'til the sun went down at night
Roselee and Odes never left each other's side
And as far as I can tell this love is exactly what I want
Will you love me when I'm sober? Will you love me when I'm not?

[Verse 3]
Now Roselee is 93 and Odes dead and gone
But she never will remarry, she's content to be alone
With the memory of the man she loved with all her heart
She still talks to his old clothes, and washes his old car

[Verse 4]
And they'd sit out on the front porch and at night they'd count the stars
She feels him in the cool night wind, she hears him in her heart
And as far as I can tell this love is exactly what I want
Will you love me when I'm livin'? Will you love me when I'm not?

[Interlude]

[Outro]
He just loved her in the mornin' 'til the sun went down at night
Roselee and Odes never left each other's side
And as far as I can tell this love is exactly what I want
Will you love me when I'm livin'? Will you love me when I'm not?
