  			   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. 
 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.
