Amanda light of my life 
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife 
Amanda light of my life 
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife. 
A measure of people don't understand 
The pleasure of life in a hillbilly band 
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen 
Now I'm crowdin' forty and still wearin' jeans. 
Amanda light of my life 
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife 
Amanda light of my life 
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife. 
--- Instrumental --- 
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 surprice 
At the grey in his hair and the age in his eyes. 
Amanda light of my life 
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife 
Amanda light of my life 
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife...
