Lyrics
Alright y'all, who here has ever mixed wine and whiskey? Yeah, I see those guilty faces! Well mama always told me wine before whiskey gets you frisky and honey she was absolutely right! This one's about the night I learned that lesson the fun way! It's called Wine Before Whiskey!
Started with a glass of red down at the bar
Told myself one drink, I wouldn't go too far
But then you walked in with that devil's grin
And suddenly whiskey seemed like where I'd begin
Mama always warned me 'bout mixing my drinks
Said "baby girl, you better stop and think"
Wine before whiskey makes you mighty frisky
Whiskey before wine and you'll be just fine
Wine before whiskey gets you frisky
One leads to the other and things get risky
You start with class then you lose control
Wine before whiskey's bad for your soul
Or maybe it's good, depends how you look
Wine before whiskey got me on the hook
Three glasses in and I'm feeling so brave
Started playing games that I shouldn't have played
Shot of Jack Daniel's and I'm sitting on your lap
Can't quite remember how I fell into that trap
My friends are laughing from the other side
They know exactly how this ends tonight
Wine before whiskey, now I'm getting frisky
Whiskey after wine, girl you'll be just fine
In the morning light with my pounding head
I'll remember everything we did and said
How the wine made me warm and whiskey made me bold
How I broke all my rules and did what I was told
Wine before whiskey got me frisky
Led me straight to you and now it's history
Started with class then I lost control
Wine before whiskey was good for my soul
Yeah, it was good, I don't care how it looks
Wine before whiskey, baby, I'm still hooked
Wine before whiskey led me straight to you
Wine before whiskey led me straight to you
Wine before whiskey led me straight to you
Wine before whiskey led me straight to you
Still hooked on you and that whiskey too
Wine before whiskey led me straight to you
