AMANDA
------

<1st Verse>
     A                    D               A
I've held it all inward, Lord knows I've tried

            A                    E             A
But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life

   A                     D        A
To look in the mirror in total surprise

       A                              E           A
At the hair on your shoulders and the age in your eyes.



 A      D           A
Amanda, light of my life

A                           E           A
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife

 A      D           A
Amanda, light of my life

A                           E           A
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife




<2nd Verse>
It's a measure of people who don't understand
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band.
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen
Now I'm crowding 30 and still wearing jeans.
