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
