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 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
