I've held it all inward, god knows i've tried
It's an awful awakening in a country boy's life
To look in the mirror, in total suprise
At the hair on my shoulders, the 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
(lead)
It's a measure of people who don't inderstand
The pleasures in life in a hillbilly band I got my first guitar when I was fourteen
Now i'm pushin' fourty, and still wearin' jeans (CHORUS)
