i have disagree with deercoroner01. Waylon Jennings is the greatest singer of all times, because he went through the pain and the pleasure of life.

The various stories of ladies named Amanda is great. Amanda is a lovely name. Meaning no disrespect to those with less melodious names but I;d rather have a world full of Amandas than girls named Hortensia lol

[aakeeperrf14]

[star079able]

Amanda sure is a popular name. I will have to ask if this song had something to do with me being an Amanda. I never knew this song till my fiance suggested it for a wedding song.

[johnsgirl0501]

If your name is Amanda and you came of age in El Dorado, Ks in the 1980's, this goes out to you - and remember Emporia in the early 90's. What might have been...

[terrorrner81]

i love this song and being named after this song, i had to buy the CD.

[terrorrner81]

my aunt named me after Waylon Jenning's song Amanda. She said I was the light of her life. She had to give me up for adoption because i had alot of complications when I was born and we 3 months premature, but my aunt & uncle adopted me so I could stay in the family still. My aunt(that is my adoptive mom) got to pick my middle name and I am called: Amanda Dawn

[derbychick28]

my daddy heard this song and said his daughter would be named Amanda that is what he done my mom said mandy and he said no her name is going to be Amanda this is a wonderful song and everything i hear it i think of my dad i love you daddy

[amandagriffin89]

my nana used to rock me to sleep and sing this to me when i was little... and at 21years old, im still her baby..!! love this song..!!

[kakofatus]

is it not music when Waylon is singing?

[DawnofEllis]

I was named after this song and my siblings used to sing it in a mocking tone ALL THE TIME!!!!

[stumpjumper0013]

This song is not about being named Amanda. It is not about a name. "Amanda" is about growing old and realizing you have lived far longer than expected, but the best part of your life was not life its self. It was a woman. A woman you did not deserve. Despite, your perceived best days being in the past you still possess the "light of your life." This song is a realization of love. An epiphany. You can not reduce it to its base element.

[DawnofEllis]

@stumpjumper0013 Obviously I know that seeing as I am a college student with a double major in Music and Poetry. Thank you for sharing your concern, but please realize that the reason that brought all of us here is due to nostalgia. For us named Amanda, it takes on two different meanings. We are not reducing it to it's base element because we are so blind that we can't see the true meaning, but because we find a familiarity. Also know that it is impossible to have one meaning to a song.

[1970braves]

well i finally made 40, and still wearing jeans!! THANK YOU WAYLON!!

Anybody else out there that was in Park City, Utah and saw Waylon, the Crickets, and Jesse Colter ? Huge concert riot. Twice. Lots of people were hurt and carried away from flying boulders and whiskey bottles. August 1981. I'm glad I was above the riot and was just a spectator.

I completely understand what you are going through. It's the same with me, except it is my Grandma. She used to change the words a bit and say you 'will' become a gentleman's wife :) it's hard but we can get through it, well anyone can who's gone through or going through something like this. sorry just wanted to share my little piece.
