The Band - Strawberry Wine lyrics

I would try my finger and I would try my hand At any fool game in this man's land But don't you talk about this-a friend of mine, I ain't never been let down and you'd be wastin' time. I would scratch and steal, I would maim a man, I would even run the bounty across the other country, So don't you talk about this here friend of mine, I gave it all of my money, but it makes me feel fine. Yeah, I know you won't give me no peace of mind, Try to understand I just wanna feel good all the time. Don't you talk about a dear old friend of mine, Well, I know that you are sweet and more than double fine. Everybody said you oughta marry that rich man down the line, But if I had to make a choice I wouldn't change my mind. Honey, you just ain't as sweet as my strawberry wine. Yeah, You caught me when I's down a-sleepin' in the park, Climbin' up the walls and laughin' in the dark. But I heard you been talkin' about a dear old friend of mine, Never tasted anything as sweet as my strawberry wine.
