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, a one night stand, looks like my plans
fell through
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again



If I only had a dollar, for every song I've sung

And every 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
