“Amanda” by Waylon Jennings

I’ve held it all inward
Lord knows I’ve tried
It’s an awful awakenin’
In a country boy’s life

When you look in the mirror
In total surprise
At the hair on your shoulders
And the age in your 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.

Well the measure of people
Don’t understand
The pleasures of life
In a hillbilly band
I got my first guitar
When I was fourteen
Now I’m crowding thirty
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.
