He was working 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
Seventeen, the hot July moon I saw everything, my first taste of love
Oh, bittersweet, but green only fine
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
Year after year I come back to this place
Just to remember the taste
Of strawberry wine
Seventeen, the hot July moon I saw everything, my first taste of love
Oh, bittersweet, but green only fine
Like strawberry wine
The fields have grown over now Years since they've seen the 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
Yeah
Strawberry wine
Seventeen, the hot July moon I saw everything, my first taste of love
Oh, bittersweet, but green only fine
Like strawberry wine
Seventeen, the hot July moon I saw everything, my first taste of love
Oh, bittersweet, but green only fine
Like strawberry wine
Strawberry wine
Strawberry wine
