Demi Lee Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 these 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
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
In Demi Lee Moore's song "Amanda," the singer is a country boy who has lived a hard life. He has held everything inside, and it shows in his physical appearance as he looks in the mirror and sees the hair on his shoulders and the age in his eyes. He then sings about Amanda, the light of his life, and how fate should have made her a gentleman's wife.
The singer reflects on the pleasures of life in a hillbilly band, and how he got his first guitar at just fourteen. He is now forty and still wearing his jeans, indicating that he has not changed much since his teenage years. The repeated line of "fate should have made you a gentleman's wife" suggests that Amanda is someone he deeply loves and respects, and that he feels he is not good enough for her.
The lyrics of "Amanda" convey a sense of regret and longing for a life that could have been different, had things gone differently. It is a song about missed opportunities, and the pain that comes with them. The singer's love for Amanda is clear, but his sense of inadequacy robs him of the chance to be with her.
