Anita Lyrics - Singles - Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson

I've held it all inward, God knows, I've tried 

But it's an awful awakening 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 

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 

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 

Well I finally made forty, still wearing jeans 

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
