The Band — 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 county 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
