Just about a year ago I set out on the road Seeking 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 walking out if I go I was just passing through Must be seven months or more Ran out of time and money Looks like they took my friends Oh Lord, 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 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, stuck in Lodi again Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again
