Jimmy Bowen - Strawberry Wine lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [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 wine [Verse 2] 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: [Chorus] [Bridge] 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 [Chorus]
