Strawberry Wine

Very iconic

And I was singing, too, so I looked like Bobby from far off, and then I get up there and I'm singing Strawberry Wine like Allie would sing Strawberry Wine, and everyone was like, "This is grotesque."

[laughs]

Like, "We don't like this anymore." I'm like-

Yeah.

Strawberry wine.

Yeah, Strawberry Wine.

Ah.

That one's from there for sure.

I'm not scanning anything.

I'm not doing anything.

Strawberry Wine, Dana Carter.

Deana Carter in 1996 with?

Strawberry Wine.

I mean, surely I was listening to Aggie 96.

[laughs]

Classic.

I have to say, I always sing Dina Carter's Strawberry Wine.

Oh, gosh, I love that one.

Yes.

But I'm like, this is.

You're playing Dana Carter's Strawberry Wine.

I love that song.

My first taste of love, whoa, bittersweet.

The green on the vine.

Like strawberry wine.

I still remember, when 30 was old.

I'm thinking Deanna Carter's Strawberry Wine, 1996, Dixie's Chicks, Sin Wagon, and Faith Hill's Breathe.

Rascal Flat's I Melt, as well, came out about that time.

And here's the deal.
