I've held it all inward
Lord knows I've tried
It's enough for the wakenin'
In a country boy's life
You look in the mirror
In total suprise
At the hair on my shoulders
And the ache in my eyes

Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you
A gentleman's wife
Ama-a-anda, light of my life
Fate should have made you
A gentleman's wife

It's a measure of people
Who don't understand
The pleasures of life
In a hillbilly van
I got my first guitar
When I was fourteen
Now I'm over thirty
And still wearin' jeans

Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you
A gentleman's wife
Ama-a-anda, light of my life
Fate should have made you
A gentleman's wife

Ama-a-anda, light of my life
Fate should have made you
A gentleman's wife
Amanda
(Light of my li-ife...)
