I've held it all in God knows I've tried It's an awful awakenin' In a country boy's life 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 Got my first guitar When I was 14 (yeah) Now, I'm pushing 40 And I'm still wearin' 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 Thank you all

I want love, but it's impossible A man like me, so irresponsible A man like me is dead in places Other men feel liberated I can't love, shot full of holes Don't feel nothing, I just feel cold Don't feel nothing, just old scars Toughening up around my heart But I want love, just a different kind I want love, won't break me down Won't brick me up, won't fence me in I want a love, that don't mean a thing That's the love I want, I want love I want love on my own terms After everything I've ever learned Me, I carry too much baggage Oh man I've seen so much traffic But I want love, just a different kind I want love, won't break me down Won't brick me up, won't fence me in I want a love, that don't mean a thing That's the love I want, I want love So bring it on, I've been bruised Don't give me love that's clean and smooth I'm ready for the rougher stuff No sweet romance, I've had enough Oh, a man like me is dead in places Other men feel liberated But I want love, just a different kind I want love, won't break me down Won't brick me up, won't fence me in I want a love, that don't mean a thing That's the love I want, I want love I want love, just a different kind I want love, won't break me down Won't brick me up, won't fence me in I want a love, that don't mean a thing That's the love I want, I want love

I take a little smoke in the evening I take a little whiskey on ice I never get behind killin' my mind It's just the kind of things I like Just the kind of things I like The minute that I saw you walkin' over I figured I was diggin' my grave And you had the shovel, I knew you were trouble But you're just the kind of trouble I crave Just the kind of trouble I crave And mama always set a good example Daddy always gave me good advice Jesus tried to steer me in the right direction But the Devil always made me think twice Devil always made me think Someday I'm goin' six feet under And when they got me standin' at the gate They'll tally my sins, they won't let me in Saying, "Son, you're just a little too late" "Son, you're just a little too late" And mama always set a good example Daddy always gave me good advice Jesus tried to steer me in the right direction But the Devil always made me think twice Devil always made me think twice Devil always made me think twice Devil always made me think twice Devil always made me Devil always made me Devil always made me think twice Devil always made me Devil always made me Devil always made me think twice
