Once in a Lifetime

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 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's flowing underground

Into the blue again

After the money's gone

Once in a lifetime

Water's 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's flowing underground

Into the blue again

After the money's gone

Once in a lifetime

Water's flowing underground

Same as it ever was

Same as it ever was

Same as it ever was

It's the same

Letting the days go by

Let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by

Water's flowing underground

Into the blue again

After the money's gone

Once in a lifetime

Water's 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 or am I wrong?"

And you may say to yourself, "My God"

Letting the days go by

Let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by

Water's flowing underground

Into the blue again

After the money's gone

Once in a lifetime

Same as it ever was

Same as it ever was

Same as it ever was

Same as it ever was

Same as it ever was

Same as it ever was

Same as it ever was

Same as it ever was

It's the same as it ever was

Same as it ever was

Same as it ever was

Same as it ever was

It's the same as it ever was
