Strawberry Wine - Rhett Haney

deanna carter He was working through college On my grandpa's farm I was thirstin' for knowledge And he had a car Yeah, I was caught somewhere Between a woman and a child One restless summer We found love growin' wild On the banks on the river On a well beaten path It's funny how those memories they last Like strawberry wine, seventeen The hot July moon saw everything The first taste of love, oh bittersweet The green on the vine Like strawberry wine Well, 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 Strawberry wine, seventeen The hot July moon saw everything The 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 nothin' time hasn't touched Is it really him or the loss of my innocence I've been missin' so much Yeah Strawberry wine, seventeen The hot July moon saw everything The first taste of love, oh bittersweet The green on the vine Like strawberry wine, seventeen The hot July moon saw everything The first taste of love, oh bittersweet The green on the vine Like strawberry wine strawberry wine ohhhhhh strawberry wine

Darlin', speak to me but don't you say a word Light a cigarette, I'll watch it as it burns Remember tellin' me that you thought you were cursed? I'm in love with every song you've ever heard If I could lose you, I would We buried your bones in plywood If I could lose you, I would We buried your bones in plywood I said, "Love is fast asleep," on a dirt road With your head on my shoulder Strawberry wine, and all the time we used to have Those things I miss, but know are never comin' back For you, darlin', for you No thing defines a man like love that makes him soft And sentimental like a stranger in the park For a few moments, I see you If I was empty space, and you were a formless Shape, we'd fit But love leaves little runway, and every time we run Straight over it If I was empty space, and you were a formless Shape, we'd fit But love leaves little runway and every time I run Straight over it
