He was workin' through college On my grandpa's farm I was thirstin' for knowledge And he had a car Yeah, I was caught somewhere between a woman and a child One restless summer we found love growin' wild On the banks of the river on a well-beaten path It's funny how those memories they last Like strawberry wine, 17 The hot July moon saw everything My first taste of love, whoa-oh bittersweet The green on the vine Like strawberry wine I still remember When 30 was old My biggest fear was September When he had to go A few cards and letters, and one long-distance call We drifted away like the leaves in the fall Year after year I come back to this place Just to remember the taste Of strawberry wine, and 17 The hot July moon saw everything My first taste of love, whoa-oh, bittersweet The green on the vine Like Strawberry wine The fields have grown over now, years since they've seen a plow There's nothin' time hasn't touched Is it really him, or the loss of my innocence I've been missin' so much? Strawberry wine, and 17 The hot July moon saw everything My first taste of love, whoa-oh, bittersweet The green on the vine Like strawberry wine Like strawberry wine Like strawberry wine
