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: How did I get here?

Let the water hold me down
All the water loading underground
After the money's gone
All the water loading underground

(Letting the days go by)
Let the water hold me down
(Letting the days go by)
All the water loading underground
(Into the blue again)
After the money's gone
(Once in a lifetime)
All the water loading 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)
All the water loading underground
(Into the blue again)
After the money's gone
(Once in a lifetime)
