D G D I've held it all in me , God knows I've tried A D But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life G D To stare in the mirror, in total surprise A D At this hair on my collar and this age in my eyes. [Chorus] D G D Amanda, light of my life A D Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife G D Amanda, light of my life A D Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife. D A And I?ve got, a couple more, years on you babe and that?s all D I?ve had more chances to fly, and more chances to fall A I never learned how to run, but I learned how to crawl D And I?ve got a couple more years on you babe and that?s all. D G D There?s a measure of people, that don't understand A D The pleasures of life in a country rock band G D I got my first guitar, when I was thirteen A G Now I?m 62 years old, and I?m still pretty mean. [Chorus] D G D Amanda, light of my life A D Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife G D Amanda, light of my life A D Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife.
