I've held it all inward.
Lord knows I've tried.
It's an awful awak'n'n'
in a country boy's life.
To look in the mirror
in total surprice.
At the hair on your shoulder
and the age in your eyes.
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you
A gentle man's wife.
Amanda light of my life.
Fate should have made you
a gentleman's wife.
Well the meassure of people
don't understand
the pleasures of life
in a hillbilly band.
I got my first guitar
when I was fourteen.
Now I'm crowding thirty
and still wearin' jeans.
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you
A gentle man's wife.
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 gentle man's wife.
Amanda light of my life.
Fate should have made you
a gentleman's wife.
