Strawberry Wine Lyrics - Did I Shave My Legs For This? - Deana Carter

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
