strawberry wine

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.
