Amanda 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

[ Waylon Jennings Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
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
And I finally made forty, 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

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
