Intro:
I've held it all inward Lord knows I've tried,
But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life:
To look in the mirror in total surprise,
At the hair on your shoulders and the age in your eyes...
Amanda light of my life,
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
Amanda light of my life,
Fate should have made you a wife
Insrumental
It's a measure of people who don't understand
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen
Now I'm crowding 80 and still wearing jeans
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a wife
