Don Williams - Amanda Lyrics






I've held it all inward
Lord knows I've tried
It's an awful awakenin'
In a country boy's life
To look in the mirror
In total surprise
At the hair on your shoulders
And the age in your eyes

Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife

Well the measure of people
Don't understand
The pleasures of life
In a hillbilly band
I got my first guitar
When I was fourteen
Now I'm crowding thirty
And still wearin' jeans

Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife

Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentle man's wife

    L.... M....

    I was at one of his last concerts in Bossier City, La. It was outstanding. One of the best singers I’ve ever heard. Even as he had gotten older, his singing was still superb.

  13. A.... B....

    Just another Amanda, named after this song. Fate fucked me. I think Don knew that... Hence, "Fate should have". Yes, Don. Fuck Fate!

  14. A.... H....

    I was named after this song too

    Nothing against Waylon, but I prefer Don's version of this song over Waylon's.

  19. S.... B....

    S.... B....

    I agree. Don was one of my personal favorites. Thank you for watching and commenting.

  20. z.... P....

    Never fateup song

  21. M.... H....

    The first time I saw Don live, I had this idea that he would be a tame imitation of the record. How wrong I was. He was exactly in tune with the record. Absolutely fabulous! That was over 25 years ago.

  22. K.... M....

    30 years ago, As I was being born 3 months to early, doctors thought I wasn't going to make it and my daddy heard this on the way to the hospital, hence my name! Every Amanda song out there is awesome, but this one is special!

    A.... M....

    Amanda Murray awwwwwwwwwboooooos 😍❤️🧡🧡💚💚

    A.... M....

    TH*T'S for SURE!

    A.... M....

    I *GREE!

    A.... M....

    Waylon Jennings sings the same song. Not sure who sang it first or wrote it.

  68. E.... N....

    So touching song 😣😣😣😥😥😊😊😃😃😃

  69. L.... F....

    THIS SONG IS DEFINITELY NOT NICE
    You guys have to stop defining women from your point of view. What do we know about this Amanda? Nothing. No description. She's everything unless an elaborated character. She's never mentioned by her own, always with the character that the singer is playing.
    I would like to remind that a woman isn't here to be the light of a man's life, we would expect a lil more for someone who's the title of the song. I also remind that saying she would be happier as a gentleman's wife is 1: openly confessing that she isn't happy with the main character and it can be very dangerous (more than 30% of women over the world lived or is living domestic abuse), 2: referring to her as an object (the 's is the possession) and 3: why would her need to be someone' s wife to be happy? Can't she be happy on her own? 4: a gentleman refers to a high education and social class, saying that she would be better with a gentleman reinforces the idea that women are looking for a social status.
    So naming your kid Amanda after that song is definitely a bad idea (+ thinking about the wedding of your daughter since her birth is definitely not healthy, get a therapist)

    L.... F....

    Léonorine Ferreiro who cares

    L.... F....

    please fuck off you lunatic bitch, and go get mental help.

    L.... F....

    I give you: The reason boomers hate millenials

    L.... F....

    To hell with your jealousy...Amana will remain e light of his life. The song is nice

    L.... F....

    I like to think you are joking.If so,ha ha ha.If not,you my dear just won biggest cunt of the decade with that horse shit.

  70. R.... H....

    I'm 95's but #Don's songs 😍😍💘
