Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
I've held it all inward
Lord knows I've tried
It's an awful awakenin'
In a country boy's life
To 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)
I've held it all inward   Lord knows I've tried   It's an awful awakenin'   In a country boy's life   To 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)
