I've held it all inward god knows i've tried
It's an awful awakenin' in a country boy's life
To look in the mirror in total surprice
At the hair on my shoulders the age in my 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 gentleman's wife

[ guitar ]
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 crowdin' thirty and still wearin' jeans

Amanda light of my life...
