I've held it all inward, Lord, knows I've tried
It's an awful awakenin' 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've made you a gentleman's wife
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should've made you a gentleman's wife
There's a measure of people don't understand
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band
I got my first guitar when I was 14
Now, I'm over 30 and still wearin' jeans
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should've made you a gentleman's wife
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should've made you a gentleman's wife
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should've made you a gentleman's wife
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should've made you a gentleman's wife
