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 on 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 / and 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 the 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.
