"You may find yourself living in a shotgun shack. You may find yourself in another part of the world. You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile. You may find yourself in a beautiful house with a beautiful wife. You may ask yourself, Well, how did I get here? Letting the days go by, Letting the water hold me down, Letting the days go by, Water flowing underground, End of the loop 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, Letting the water hold me down, Letting the days go by, Water flowing underground, End of the loop again, After the money's gone, Once in a lifetime, Water flowing underground. Same as it ever was."
