Just about a year ago, I set out on the road
Seeking my fame and f ortune and looking for a pot of g old
Things got bad and things got worse, I guess you know the tune
Oh ! Lord, stuck in Lodi agai n
Rode in on a 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
Instrumental : (bis)
The man from the magazine said I was on my way
Somewhere I lost connection, 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
Instrumental :
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 a gain (bis)
