Verse 

     A                   D          A 
I’ve held it all inward, God knows, I’ve tried, 
     A                      E          A 
But it’s an awful awakening in a country boy’s life, 
     A               D          A 
To look in the mirror in total surprise. 
     A                           E         A 
At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes. 

 
A       D           A 
Amanda, light of my life. 
     A                      E          A 
Fate should have made you a gentleman’s wife. 
A       D           A 
Amanda, light of my life. 
     A                      E          A 
Fate should have made you a gentleman’s wife. 


Verse 
     A                   D          A 
It’s a measure of people who don’t understand, 
     A                      E          A 
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band. 
     A                   D          A 
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen, 
     A                      E          A 
Well I finally made forty, still wearing jeans. 

 
A       D           A 
Amanda, light of my life. 
     A                      E          A 
Fate should have made you a gentleman’s wife. 
A       D           A 
Amanda, light of my life. 
     A                      E          A 
Fate should have made you a gentleman’s wife.
