Chords

     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.
