Amanda
Bob McDill
[verse 1]
I've held it all inward
God 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 my shoulders and the age in my 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
[verse 2]
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
Well, I finally made forty still wearing these jeans
[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
Fate should have made you
A gentleman's life
