David Allan Coe - Amanda
I've Dheld it all in me , GGod knows I've Dtried
But it's an awful awakening in a Acountry boy's Dlife
To stare in the mirror, in Gtotal surDprise
At this hair on my collar and this Aage in my Deyes.
[Chorus]
DAmanda, Glight of my Dlife
Fate should have made you a Agentleman's Dwife
Amanda, Glight of my Dlife
Fate should have made you a Agentleman's Dwife.
And DI?ve got, a couple more, years on you babe and that?s allA  
I?ve had more chances to fly, and more chances to Dfall
I never learned how to run, but I learned how to Acrawl
And I?ve got a couple more years on you babe and that?s Dall.
DThere?s a measure of people, that Gdon't underDstand
The pleasures of life in a Acountry rock Dband
I got my first guitar, when GI was thirDteen
Now I?m 62 years old, and I?m Astill pretty Gmean.
[Chorus]
DAmanda, Glight of my Dlife
Fate should have made you a Agentleman's Dwife
Amanda, Glight of my Dlife
Fate should have made you a Agentleman's Dwife.
