I've held it all in
God knows I tried
It's an awful awakenin'
In a country boy's life
Look in the mirror
In total surprise
At the hair on my shoulders
And the age in my eyesAmanda 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
It's a measure of people
Who don't understand
The pleasures of life
In a Hillbilly band
Got my first guitar
When I was fourteen
Now I'm pushing forty
And I'm still wearin' 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 gentleman's wife
