[Intro]
A
[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.
[Chorus]
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
Now I've finally made forty and still wearin' jeans
[Outro]
