And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack

And you may find yourself in another part of the world

And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife

And you may ask yourself - Well... How did I get here?

Well... How did I get here?



Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by, water flowing underground

Into the blue again, after the money's gone

Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground



And you may ask yourself

How do I work this?

And you may ask yourself

Where is that large automobile?

And you may tell yourself

This is not my beautiful house

And you may tell yourself

This is not my beautiful wife

Not my beautiful wife



Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by, water flowing underground

Into the blue again, after the money's gone

Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground



The same as it ever was

The same as it ever was

The same as it ever was



And you may ask yourself

What is that beautiful house?

And you may ask yourself

Where does that highway go to?

And you may ask yourself

Am I right? Or am I wrong?

And you may say to yourself

My god, what have I done?

What have I done?



Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by, water flowing underground

Into the blue again, after the money's gone

Once in a lifetime

Once in a lifetime

Once in a lifetime
