Carrie Underwood - Wine After Whiskey Lyrics






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

[Chorus:]
Now everything 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

Looking 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

[Chorus:]
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

[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
It’s like having wine after whiskey

    A.... B....

    Alese Bodiford what do you mean he s gotta grow up? He was much younger than you ? Just asking , because im much younger than my girlfriend

    One of the greatest songs by Carrie.... she's amazing and beautiful.... and an inspirational person :)

  34. K.... G....

    One of those songs that you know ALL the words to. <3

    K.... G....

    +Kimberly Gawne I love to fly the Confederate flag. Yes, I know all the words to this one and Who Are You. So, who are you? The one for whom I really gladly suffer. But having anyone else love me is like having wine after whiskey because you're a habit hard to break.

  35. a.... b....

    I love a lot of song by carrie underwood

  36. E.... S....

    Carrie Just keeps getting Better and Better

  37. b.... ....

    Love this song.

  38. M.... D....

    This should've been a single. I love it when Carrie goes back to her country roots. Don't get me wrong, her more pop-y songs are great, but when she takes the more traditional country route, she's freaking unstoppable.

    M.... D....

    You got that right. She is incredible.

    M.... D....

    I consider this pop rock.

    M.... D....

    I consider this pop rock.

  61. K.... V....

    amazing song

  62. R.... N....

    fire doesnt turn to ambers

    R.... N....

    Rachel Neary embers* and yeah they do an ember is when the wood or charcoal still has a slight glow

  63. C.... S....

    I still love you Tommy Merritt! Sorry I got lost & left. Thought you come get me, but guess it was for the best! But you were the best in every way! I love you!!!!!!

  64. t.... a....

    ember is hot coal and amber is fossilized tree resin. tswiftfan823 is correct. carrie co-wrote this song as per album credit. sometimes you gotta read.
    great country song!

  65. k.... c....

    Cheack out my videos plz xx

  66. K.... L....

    she was right, it's Embers

  67. s.... c....

    Carrie Underwood is the best female vocalist i have ever heard in my life and if somebody dont like her singing they have issues really bad issues!!!!!!!!!!

  68. j.... s....

    she is fantastic live just saw her tonight

  69. L.... d....

    Carrie is one of the best singers in music. She sounds so incredible live. If Carrie is not good songwriter on her own, than I'd rather she have people write for her or co write. Just because some people write their songs does not mean its well written. Anyway this is one of Carrie best songs. Hope she releases it as single sometime.

  70. p.... ....

    cookie cutter, she did not write this, her backup singers are probably better singers,, duh

  71. C.... S....

    It should of been a #1 song!!!!!

  72. C.... S....

    Damn, will I ever find someone like you, Tommy????

  73. A.... ....

    You mean "not to be". See? We all make mistakes :)

  74. V.... M....

    Well to be critical it is Embers not Ambers {An ember is a glowing, hot coal made of greatly heated wood, coal, or other carbon-based material that remain after, or sometimes precede a fire, and amber is fossilized tree resin (not sap), which has been appreciated for its color and natural beauty since Neolithic times}

  75. j.... ....

    It's definitely embers. lol

  76. O.... ....

    no actually its embers... fire doesn't make ambers ;) lol so you're good

  77. W.... ....

    You had it right.

  78. t.... w....

    no its embers. embers are A small piece of burning or glowing coal or wood in a dying fire which comes before ashes. amber is a color or fossilized resin from an extinct species of a tree.

  79. t.... ....

    what? ember makes sense

  80. R.... J....

    um...it would be embers..embers are another word for sparks..

  81. K.... W....

    It's embers an ember is a piece of glowing coal or wood. Amber is like a yellow orange color. So they were right.

  82. A.... ....

    Actually no it isn't. It's embers.

  83. H.... ....

    No.. it's embers. Ambers isn't a word. Amber itself is a form of crystalized sap or gem. She means embers, as in embers in a fire. So no, the maker of this was 100% correct.

  84. V.... ....

    Actually you were right and "embers" is correct...amber is a stone (or fossilized tree resin rather...)...fire turning into amber wouldn't make any sense. Fire turns to ember...

  85. s.... ....

    oh, well in that case, i guess you're right.... i just looked in the booklet that came with the cd and it said ambers buuuut i guess embers makes more sense.

  86. H.... H....

    Actually, amber is a color and a gem. But embers elude to fire and flames.

  87. S.... ....

    People don't seem to realize that we just want to hear the song.

  88. K.... D....

    It's "high and".
    "I got used to being high, and nothing that I tried..."

  89. T.... ....

    It's not ambers. Its embers, that makes more sense.

  90. s.... ....

    well that does explain it but i dont really care for mistakes.... as long as i understand it im good.

  91. t.... ....

    You won't be surprised if you can spot a few mistakes. I did the videos the moment I got a hold of her album, and I finished it all at around 4 in the morning. But still, forgive for the error.

  92. S.... M....

    This should be her next single!! Favorite song by her!!

  93. A.... B....

    Great lyrics but it's "high end" not high and

  94. f.... ....

    she's unbelievable as always

  95. L.... d....

    I like Carrie cds the same. Blown Away is my favorite. It has different themes and music styles. It's so amazing. This is one of her best songs off of the album.

  96. R.... A....

    This is so true but its not that you want them back... Its just hard to trust again :/

  97. c.... ....

    I am single again after to marrieges,they both cheated on me with co-workers,but right now I have been single for 7 yrs now and have found it to be right foe me and loving every min. of it. Being married isn't what its all cracked up to be. I think I will stay single and just date no strings attached and be happy:) I love her Music !:)

  98. C.... S....

    Why I'm still single after 11 years!!

  99. r.... ....

    i love Carrie, when i thought this album was not gonna be good, but hell was i wrong, ive loved and been a fan of Carrie sense American Idol....
