Strawberry Wine lyrics

[Verse 1]
He was workin' through college
On my grandpa's farm
I was thirstin' for knowledge
And he had a car
I was caught somewhere
Between a woman and a child
One restless summer
We found love growin' wild
On the banks on the river
On a well-beaten path
It's funny how those memories they last

[Chorus]
Like strawberry wine, seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
The first taste of love, oh, bittersweet
The green on the vine
Like strawberry wine

[Verse 2]
Yeah, 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
