The Highwaymen - Amanda (American Outlaws: Live at Nassau Coliseum, 1990)

je älter, je besser

I've held it all inward, God knows I've tried
But it's an awful awakenin' 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 in the people who don't understand
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band
I got my first guitar when I was 14
Well, I'm finally pass 40, 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

Thank you

Love this song, beautiful.

Now I'm over thirty, still wearing jeans

The outlaws, these guys got me through some tough times

Enorme groupe! merci " so much" pour ce sommet d'emotions 👍❤💖💖💖💖💖💖

Music can't get any better than this when he points up you know its his beloved Jessie to have kris as your backing up singer perfect

super I love them they are great

I's this waylens song or don Williams?

May I ask a question;
Will country music ever get better then this?
I doubt so....
Everytime I watch them Highwaymen, I get this strange melancholic ,but still positive feeling, that this is as good(and beautiful) as its gonna get...

Meine Großmutter hieß auch Amanda, ich höre zu, wieder 45 Jahren, wunderbar

The super group of super group’s

I used to sing the chorus of this song to my niece Amanda when she was an infant. She's 25 years old now and I still sing it at her sometimes when I want to be annoying.

My daddy named me after Waylon Jennings. "Amanda" . When I was only three years old we were hit by a drunk driver and my daddy saved me but I lost my daddy that day. Fourteen years later I found my soul mate,my best friend, my now husband. He sang Waylin Jennings. "Amanda" to me in front of his entire family and I knew that he was the love of my life and he was the one! 24 years later I'm still so very in love with him

Can't stop listening to this great man! I'm old enough to remember him when he was the lead guitarist for Buddy Holly. LOVE HIS MUSIC!!!

Ah wallon voix merveilleuse, tu nous manque on t' aime

Che bello questo video, mai visto, che giganti!!

One of my Waylon favs

Don Williams did it first but I love both

When Johnny Cash Kris and Wille step away and just join for the chorus you pretty well nailed the song

good

The older I get, the more I appreciate this song.

This is real music, music with a meaning and often something to teach you, music that make you reflect and meditate, music that penetrates into ur brain and ur heart.
I remember one time i rode my motorbike to a little church, on top of a hill, i sat on a park bench, i weared my earphones an i started playng luckenbach texas, and song by song, between the Highwaymen, kris kristofferson, merle haggard, waylon, cash, arlo guthrie and willie nelson in one minute the afternoon passed away, listening to great music and watching the sea below.
This is music, all the rest is an amusing noise.

Remember in the past you never had Studio recordings it was all live acapella was an instrument. That is real music making this whole recording studio business is is a lot of other people and what they think his music to the original musicians outfits. I don't know why you would think me studio version is better. Give me that old time music. Give me live music. Give me an adulterated music. I don't know who would take a studio recording is better than the library they really don't know they really don't know music. Live music forever.

Yes sir yes sir good guitar picking good picking

Right there! Absolutely the best darn County Western singer's, ever!

This man was just the best

No better trio anywhere --these are great men
