A man wakes up in a strange room
He doesn't recognize the woman next to him
He gets out of bed, there's a wallet on the dresser
He opens it up, looks inside at the driver's license in there with his face on it
And someone else's name

And you may ask yourself
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?), 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 moneys gone
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful gouse?"
You may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?"
You may ask 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 moneys 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
Remove the water, carry the water
Remove the water from the bottom of the ocean

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 moneys 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?"
You may say to yourself, "Am I right? Am I wrong?"
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
After the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

Into the blue again
Into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones
There is water 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

Letting the days go by
Letting the days go by
Letting the days go by
Once in a lifetime

Letting the days go by
Letting the days go by
Letting the days go by
Once in a lifetime
