I've held it all in, god knows I've tried

It's an awful awakening in a country boy's life

Look in the mirror in total surprise

At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes.

Amanda, light of my life

Faith should have made you a gentleman's wife

Amanda, light of my life

Faith 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 band

Got my first guitar when I was fourteen

Now I'm pushin' forty and I'm still wearin' jeans.

Amanda, light of my life

Faith should have made you a gentleman's wife

Amanda, light of my life

Faith should have made you a gentleman's wife.
