  • 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 embers
    Embers to ashes that blow away too soon
    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

    Lookin' back I guess it's 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 being high and nothing that I try seems good enough right now
    It's all so 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

    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
    It's like having wine after whiskey Writer/s: Carrie Underwood, Dave Berg, Tom Shapiro
