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
