I've held it all in me , God knows I've tried
But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life
To stare in the mirror, in total surprise
At this hair on my collar and this 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.
And I've got, a couple more, years on you babe and that?s all
I've had more chances to fly, and more chances to fall
I never learned how to run, but I learned how to crawl
And I've got a couple more years on you babe and that?s all.
There's a measure of people, that don't understand
The pleasures of life in a country rock band
I got my first guitar, when I was thirteen
Now I'm 62 years old, and I'm still pretty mean.
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.
