Lyrics for Song: Amanda
Lyrics for Album: Stomp Them Grapes [1974]
(Bob McDill)
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 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 gentleman's wife.
Well, a measure of people don't understand
The pleasure of life in a hillbilly band
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen
Now I'm crowdin' thirty 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 gentleman'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 gentleman's wife...
