1st Verse>

I've held it all inward, Lord knows I've tried

But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life

To look in the mirror in total surprise

At the hair on your shoulders and the age in your eyes.

Chorus

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

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 crowding 30 and still wearing jeans.
