E A E
I've held it all inward, God knows, I've tried
E B E
But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life
E A E
To look in the mirror in total surprise
E B E
At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes
[Chorus]
E A E
Amanda, light of my life
E B E
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
E A E
Amanda, light of my life
E B E
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
[Verse 2]
E A E
It's a measure of people who don't understand
E B E
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band
E A E
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen
E B E
Well I finally made forty, still wearing these jeans
[Chorus]
E A E
Amanda, light of my life
E B E
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
E A E
Amanda, light of my life
E B E
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
E A E
Amanda, light of my life
E B E
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
E A E
Amanda, light of my life
E B E
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
