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 moneys 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 moneys 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 said yourself
 
 Oh 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 moneys gone
 
 Once in a lifetime
 
 Once in a lifetime
 
 Once in a lifetime
