I’ve held it all inward, Lord knows I’ve tried
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 of made you a gentlemen’s wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should of made you a gentlemen’s wife

Well a measure 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 wearing’ jeans
