Amanda (Version 2)

Amanda (Version 2) - Don Williams

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 hair on your shoulders

And the age in your 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

There's a measure of people

Who don't understand

The pleasure of

Life in a hillbilly band

I got my first guitar

When I was fourteen

Now I'm over thirty

And still wearing 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
