AMANDA by Waylon Jennings
1ST VERSE
A D A
I’ve held it all in, 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 my collar and the age in my eyes.
CHORUS
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 pushing 30(?), still wearing jeans.
