Don Williams – Amanda – 1973

Lyrics

 

I’ve held it all inwardLord knows I’ve triedIt’s an awful awakenin’In a country boy’s lifeWhen you look in the mirrorIn total surpriseAt the hair on your shouldersAnd the age in your eyes.
Amanda light of my lifeFate should have made you a gentle man’s wifeAmanda light of my lifeFate should have made you a gentle man’s wife.
Well the measure of peopleDon’t understandThe pleasures of lifeIn a hillbilly bandI got my first guitarWhen I was fourteenNow I’m crowding thirtyAnd still wearin’ jeans.
Amanda light of my lifeFate should have made you a gentle man’s wifeAmanda light of my lifeFate should have made you a gentle man’s wife.
