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 ways      And you may ask yourself,   What is that beautiful house?   And you may ask yourself,   Where does that highway go?   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
