Lyrics

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 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
 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 the water at the bottom of the ocean
 Water dissolving and water removing
 Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
 Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
 Into the blue again, into 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
 You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?"
 You may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go to?"
 And you may ask yourself, "Am I right, am I wrong?"
 And you may say 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, into 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
 Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
 Same as it ever was, look where my hand was
 Time isn't holding up, time isn't after us
 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
 Here a twister comes, here comes the twister
 Letting the days go by (same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
 Letting the days go by (same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
 Once in a lifetime, let the water hold me down
 Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
 
 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 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
 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 the water at the bottom of the ocean
 Water dissolving and water removing
 Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
 Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
 Into the blue again, into 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
 You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?"
 You may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go to?"
 And you may ask yourself, "Am I right, am I wrong?"
 And you may say to yourself, "My God, what have I done?"
 Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down

 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, look where my hand was
 Time isn't holding up, time isn't after us
 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

 Here a twister comes, here comes the twister
 Letting the days go by (same as it ever was, same as it ever was)

 Letting the days go by (same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
 Letting the days go by (same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
 Once in a lifetime, let the water hold me down
 Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
