Amanda

 
     A                    D               A 
I've held it all inward, Lord 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 your shoulders and the age in your 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  

 

It's a measure of people who don't understand 

The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band. 

I got my first guitar when I was fourteen 

Now I'm crowding 30 and still wearing jeans.
