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 every song I've sung 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
