[Verse 1]

I've held it all in, God knows I've tried

It's an awful awakening in a country boy's life

Look in the mirror in total surprise

At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes

[Chorus]

Amanda, light of my life

Faith should have made you a gentleman's wife

Amanda, light of my life

Faith should have made you a gentleman's wife

[Verse 2]

It's a measure of people who don't understand

The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band

Got my first guitar when I was fourteen

Now I'm pushin' forty and I'm still wearin' jeans

[Chorus]

Amanda, light of my life

Faith should have made you a gentleman's wife

Amanda, light of my life

Faith should have made you a gentleman's wife
