DEANA CARTER

- Strawberry Wine Lyrics

He was working through college on my Grandpa's farm
I was thirsting for knowledge and he had a car
Yeah, 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
The green on the vine like strawberry wine

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 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
The green on the vine like strawberry wine

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 loss of my innocence
I've been missing so much? Yeah

Strawberry wine and seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love, oh, bittersweet
And green on the vine

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 wine

Strawberry wine
Strawberry wine

When we interpret the meaning being expressed, the lyric of the song 'Strawberry Wine' by Deana Carter takes us back to a summer love story that started in the innocence of childhood and was complicated by the process of getting older. The 'strawberry wine' metaphor indicates the sweetness and shortness of first love while 'seventeen' is the age when one is innocent and discovers himself, thus capturing nostalgia and bittersweet memories of that period. Strawberry wine lyrics give predominance to love, nostalgia, reflection, heartbreak, and nature. However, the song also focuses on the necessity of nostalgia and memory, first love and innocence, and bitter-sweet experiences. The lyrics portray themes of young love and nostalgia, which could be partially inappropriate for really little kids. No explicit adult content is there but love and loss themes may demand parental guidance.
