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
refrain
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 and 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
letting the days go by same as it ever was
here a twister comes here comes the twister
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
once in a lifetime let the water hold me down
letting the days go by water flowing underground
