He was working through college
On my grandpa's farm
I was thirsting for knowledge
And he had a car
I was caught some where between a woman and a child
One restless summer we found love growing wild
On the banks of a river on a well beaten path
Ain't it funny how those memories last
Chorus
Like strawberry wine, seventeen
That hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love
Ooh, 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 two leaves in the fall
But year after year I come back to this place
Just to remember the taste
Chorus
The fields have grown over now
Years since they've seen a plow
There's nothing time hasn't touched
Is it really him or the lose of my I
I've been missing so much
Yeaaaah
Chorus
