Amanda

(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...
