Waylon Jennings — Amanda

[Verse 1] I've held it all inward, God knows I've tried But it's an awful awakenin' 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 Now I'm over thirty, still wearing 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
