Once in a Lifetime

And you may find yourself livin' in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house
With a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself
"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"

Letting the days go by (let the water hold me down)
Letting the days go by (water flowin' underground)
Into the blue again (after the money's gone)
Once in a lifetime (water flowin' underground)

Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was

Water dissolving and water removing
There's water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water
Remove, remove, remove, remove

Letting the days go by (let the water hold me down)
Letting the days go by (water flowin' underground)
Into the blue again (after the money's gone)
Under the rocks and stones (there is water underground)

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, "What is that beautiful house?"
And you may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go to?"
And you may ask yourself, "Am I right, am I wrong?"
And you say yourself, "My God! 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)
Under the rocks and stones (there is water underground)

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)
