American Aquarium - Strawberry Wine lyrics

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 of the river
On a well-beaten path
It's funny how those memories they last

Like strawberry wine and seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love, oh bittersweet
The green on the vine like strawberry winе

And I still remember whеn 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, seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My 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 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

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