   On a hot summer's night
  In the year of '75
  Jimmy Doyle took his child bride
  Amanda, for a drive
  She was only seventeen
  He just lived to see her smile
  Their commitment to each other
  Burned like a forest fire
  Otis on the radio singing Stand By Me
  As a trooper pulled them over
  And said Jimmy where you been
  Someone matching your description
  Has just robbed the liquor store
  Amanda said He's been with me
  But they weren't listening anymore
  
  Down at Precinct Number Five
  They questioned Jimmy through the night
  The sheriff said He's gotta stand trial
  Armed robbery is the charge
  Amanda said This cannot be
  Gonna stay right here until you set him free
  
  And I love him
  Here to eternity
  Forever
  Unto eternity
  Oh God gave me something
  I must hold on to
  Gonna hold on him
  No matter what you do
  
  The old courthouse was crowded
  As the judge reviewed the case
  In a year of re-election
  He was desperate to impress
  Innocent or guilty
  He saw an opportunity
  To send Jimmy down for life
  To the Penitentiary
  
  Disbelief and anger
  As they dragged him away
  In a cell below the courthouse
  They beat him like a slave
  But his use of martial arts
  Struck a blow for liberty
  Felled a guard with a fist of iron
  And killed him instantly
  
  All the press surrounded Amanda
  Coming down the courthouse steps
  Pleading for her young man's life
  And in a moment seen by millions
  She bowed her head and cried
  Show my man some mercy
  He's the father of my child
  
  I love him
  Here to eternity
  Forever
  Unto eternity
  Oh God gave me something
  I must hold on to
  Gonna hold on him
  No matter what you do
  I love him
  Here to eternity
  
  Jimmy Doyle appeared again
  In a second public trail
  For the murder of a prison guard
  They sentenced him to die
  But Amanda with her long red hair
  Made one last plea
  As the court fell into silence
  She cried out desperately
  
  This man of mine is innocent
  As one day I shall prove
  It's an open case of self defense
  All this circumstantial evidence
  You place before your court
  Has robbed me of my husband
  Forget I will not
  
  I love him
  Here to eternity
  Forever
  Unto eternity
  Oh goodbye my Jimmy
  Til we meet again
  In a better world than this
  I swear I'll clear your name
  Cos I love you
  Here to eternity
