I've held it all inward Lord knows I've tried
It's an awful awakenin' 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

Amanda light of my life
Fate should've made you a gentleman's wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should've made you a gentleman's wife
[ dobro ]
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 crowdin' thirty and still wearin' jeans

Amanda light of my life...
Amanda light of my life...
