Lyrics
I've held it all inward, God 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 my shoulders and the age in my 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
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 14
Well, now I'm over 30, 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
Writer(s): Robert Lee Mcdill
