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 flowing underground)

Into the blue again

(After the money's gone)

Once in a lifetime

(Water flowing 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 is water at the bottom of the ocean

Under the water, carry the water

Remove-move-move, remove-move-move

Letting the days go by

(Let the water hold me down)

Letting the days go by

(Water flowing underground)

Into the blue again

(In the silent water)

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 said to 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

(In the silent water)

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)
