He was working 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

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

Well, 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

Strawberry wine, seventeen

The hot July moon saw everything

The first taste of love, 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

Yeah

Strawberry wine, seventeen

The hot July moon saw everything

The first taste of love, oh bittersweet

The green on the vine

Like strawberry wine,

Strawberry Wine
