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 know the tune
Oh Lord, I’m stuck in Lodi again
I rode in on a greyhound
I’ll be walkin’ out if I go
I was just a-passin’ through
Seven months or more
I ran out of time and money
And it looks like they took my friends
Oh Lord, I’m stuck in Lodi again
Hey, a man from a magazine
Said I was on my way
Somewhere I lost connection
I ran out of songs to play
I came into town for a one-night stand
Looks like my plans fell through
Oh Lord, I’m 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, I’m stuck in Lodi again
Oh Lord, I’m stuck in Lodi again
Oh Lord, I’m stuck in Lodi again
