One restless summer, we found love, growing wild
My biggest fear was September, when he had to go
It's funny how those memories they last
A few cards and letters and one long distance call
My first taste of love, oh, bittersweet
The hot July moon saw everything
On the banks of the river, on a well beaten path
The hot July moon saw everything
Strawberry wine
The green on the vine like strawberry wine
There's nothing time hasn't touched
The green on the vine like strawberry wine
My first taste of love, oh, bittersweet
The hot July moon saw everything
I've been missing so much? Yeah
The green on the vine like strawberry wine
Strawberry wine and seventeen
Is it really him or the loss of my innocence
The hot July moon saw everything
Like strawberry wine and seventeen
But year after year, I come back to this place
Years since they've seen a plow
Just to remember the taste
Of strawberry wine and seventeen
We drifted away like the leaves in the fall
Yeah, I was caught somewhere between a woman and a child
Like strawberry wine and seventeen
My first taste of love, oh, bittersweet
And green on the vine
My first taste of love, oh, bittersweet
The fields have grown over now
I still remember when thirty was old
