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 pa**in' 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
