He was working through college on my grandpa's farm
|
I was thirsting for knowledge and he had a car
|
I was caught somewhere between a woman and a child
|
When one restless summer we found love growing wild
|
On the banks of the river on a well beaten path
|
Funny how those memories they last
|
|
Like strawberry wine and seventeen
|
The hot July moon saw everything
|
My first taste of love oh bittersweet
|
Green on the vine
|
Like strawberry wine
|
|
I still remember when thirty 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
|
But year after year I come back to this place
|
Just to remember the taste
|
|
Of strawberry wine and seventeen
|
The hot July moon saw everything
|
My first taste of love oh bittersweet
|
Green on the vine
|
Like strawberry wine
|
|
The fields have grown over now
|
Years since they've seen a plow
|
There's nothing time hasn't touched
|
Is it really him or the loss of my innocence
|
I've been missing so much
|
|
Like strawberry wine and seventeen
|
The hot July moon saw everything
|
My first taste of love oh bittersweet
|
Green on the vine
|
Like strawberry wine
|
