Lyrics:

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. (Chorus) Amanda light of my life Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife Amanda light of my life Fate should have made you a gentle man'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. (Chorus
