[Intro]
A
[Estrofa]
     A                   D              A 
I've held it all inward, God 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 my shoulders and the age in my eyes.
[Estribillo]
 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
[Estrofa]
     A                   D         A 
It's a measure of people who don't understand 
       A                    E        A 
The pleasures of life in a Hillbilly band 
 A                         D          A 
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen 
    A                        E                A 
Now I've finally made forty and still wearin' jeans
[Outro]
