"Amanda" is a 1973 song written by Bob McDill and recorded by both Don Williams (1973) and Waylon Jennings (1974).
"Amanda" was Waylon Jennings's eighth solo number one on the country chart.
More than 4½ years later, new overdubs were added to the original track and placed on his first greatest hits album.
"Amanda" is a love song of a man approaching middle age and reflecting how his life is and how his wife could have done better without him.
"Amanda" was first recorded and released as a single by country singer Don Williams in the summer of 1973 as the flip side of his No.
