Amanda
(Bob McDill)
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.
A measure of people don't understand
The pleasure of life in a hillbilly band
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen
Now I'm crowdin' forty and still wearin' 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.
--- Instrumental ---
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 surprice
At the grey in his hair and the age in his 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...
