I've held it all in me , God knows I've tried 
                                 A             D 
But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life 
                           G        D 
To stare in the mirror, in total surprise 
                                   A         D 
At this hair on my collar and this age in my eyes.

Amanda, light of my life 
                            A           D 
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife

And I've got, a couple more, years on you babe and that?s all 
                                                  D 
I've had more chances to fly, and more chances to fall 
                                                 A 
I never learned how to run, but I learned how to crawl 
                                                        D 
And I've got a couple more years on you babe and that?s all.

There's a measure of people, that don't understand 
                           A            D 
The pleasures of life in a country rock band 
                            G         D 
I got my first guitar, when I was thirteen 
                              A            G 
Now I'm 62 years old, and I'm still pretty mean.
