The song, ‘Amanda’, is about a woman (probably a wife) who unconditionally loves her man, even though he isn’t an exceptional person and didn’t get on very well in life.
It’s the las track on Waylon Jenning’s album, The Ramblin' Man (1974) and the third single of the album.
[Verse 1]
I've held it all inward, God knows I've tried
But it's an awful awakenin' in a country boy's life
To look in the mirror in total surprise
At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes
[Chorus]
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
[Verse 2]
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 over thirty, still wearing jeans
[Chorus]
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
Amanda was written by Bob McDill.
Waylon Jennings released Amanda on Sun Sep 01 1974.
