Isn't it amazing
when you don't have a penny
but you know you have the best thing
you can have
isn't it amazing
a cold hard winter comes and goes
the shoes come off the toes go free
and i really think somebody loves me now
we were hunching down in the midday sun
pickin strawberries one by one
and I looked into the eyes of a strawberry girl
I was there all summer working as a hired hand
on a quarter section of her father's land
the first time that i saw her i knew
she was meant for me
her eyes caught mine as she wandered by the granary
then she smiled and turned around
we were hunching down in the midday sun
pickin strawberries one by one
and I fell into the arms of a strawberry girl
Sometimes things don't work out the way you plan
you take the test -
forget the rest and do the best you can
i woke up
to find a red-haired ray of sunshine in my bed
"you know i really love you honey
but i'm just eighteen" she said
"and i want to see the world"
she had a suitcase packed
and a roadmap in her hand
I said "you must think i'm crazy"
...well i guess i am
now we're on the highway
we're headed to Alberta
her daddy ain't too happy what we've done
but he'll cool down in a month or two
meanwhile i've got work to do
I'm gonna be the father of a strawberry son
and that's just fine with me
we're cruising along in the midday sun
eating strawberries one by one
makes me feel like i'm so young
when i hold on to the hand
of my strawberry girl
we were hunching down in the midday sun
picking strawberries one by one
i know my life has just begun
when i fall into the arms
of my strawberry girl
strawberry girl
strawberry girl
mmmm hmmm hmmm mmm mmm
