Well I've been lost and I've been found

Whiskey Wonderland Lyrics

Well I've been lost and I've been found
And I've seen the Devil in the foreground
As the bottle cap turns and my fingers burn
We raise a glass for hope
And as the bottle smashes down and I turn around
The Devil he makes no sound (HEY HEY!)

It's a long way home when you're walking all alone
Walkin' in a Whiskey Wonderland
And it's a long way back, better hope that you don't crack
Walkin' in a Whiskey Wonderland

Oh I've been high and I've been low
And I've seen the Devil, he's come and go
As the bottle cap turns and my fingers burn
I lift a glass for hope
And as the house burns down
And I turn around
The Devil he makes no sound (HEY HEY!)

It's a long way home when you're walking all alone
Walkin' in a Whiskey Wonderland
And it's a long way back, better hope that you don't crack
Walkin' in a Whiskey Wonderland
And it's a long way home when you're walking all alone
Walkin' in a Whiskey Wonderland
And it's a long way back, better hope that you don't crack
Walkin' in a Whiskey Wonderland

And it's a long way home
And it's a long way home
And it's a long way home
And it's a long way home

It's a long way home when you're walking all alone
Walkin' in a Whiskey Wonderland
And it's a long way back, better hope that you don't crack
Walkin' in a Whiskey Wonderland
And it's a long way home when you're walking all alone
Walkin' in a Whiskey Wonderland
And it's a long way back, better hope that you don't crack
Walkin' in a Whiskey Wonderland
