Just about a year ago
I sat out on the road
Seeking my fame and fortune
Looking for a pot of gold
But things got bad
And things got worse
I guess you know the tune
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
Well, I came to town on a Greyhound
But I'll be walking out when I go
I was just a passing through
It must be seven months or more
I ran out of time and money
And now it looks like they took my friends
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
Well, the man from the magazine
He told me I was on my way
But somewhere I lost connections
And ran out of songs to play
I came to town on a one night stand
But that's where my plans fell through
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
Well, if I only had me a dollar
For every song I've sung
And every time I've had to play
While people sat there drunk
I'd catch the next train
Out of town
And go back to where I lived
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
