Lyrics
Amanda
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've held it all inward god 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
Well 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' thirty and still wearing jeans
Amanda light of my life...
Amanda light of my life...
