Just about a year ago
I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune
Lookin' for a pot of gold.
Things got bad, and things got worse
I guess you will know the tune.
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again.Rode in on the Greyhound
I'll be walkin' out if I go.
I was just passin' through
Must be seven months or more.
Ran out of time and money
Looks like they took my friends.
Oh, Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.
The man from the magazine
Said I was on my way.
Somewhere I lost connections
Ran out of songs to play.
I came into town on a one-night stand
Looks like my plans fell through.
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again.
If I only had a dollar
For ev'ry song I've sung
Ev'ry time I've had to play
While people sat there drunk.
You know, I'd catch the next train
Back to where I live.
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again.
Oh, Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.
