Wine After Whiskey Lyrics

by Carrie Underwood

[Verse 1:]

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e77665-carrie_underwood~wine_after_whiskey_lyrics.html ]
Once upon a time our world was on fire and I loved to watch it burn
Wild and reckless, never any limits, guess I had a lot to learn
Cause fire turns to ember and those burn to ashes that blow away too soon

[Chorus:]

Now everything's after you is like having wine after whiskey
It went from do anything for you babe to you don't even miss me
Once you've tasted a love that strong you can't go back
And you can't settle on anything less
And that's what gets me. It's like having wine after whiskey

[Verse 2:]

Looking back I guess it was really for the best, still you're something that I crave
Even though I know it was right to let you go. You're a habit hard to break
I got used to that high and nothing that I try seems good enough right now

[Chorus:]

It's also watered down like having wine after whiskey
It went from do anything for you babe to you don't even miss me
Once you've tasted a love that strong
You can't go back and you can't settle on anything less
And that's what gets me. It's like having wine after whiskey

[Outro:]

Once you've tasted a love that strong you can't go back
And you can't settle on anything less
And that's what gets me. It's like having wine after whiskey
