American Aquarium Strawberry Wine Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
