Dixie Chicks Strawberry Wine Lyrics

Strawberry Wine Lyrics

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.
One restless summer we found love growing 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.
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.
