Just about a year ago
I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune
Lookin' for that pot of gold
Things got bad and things got worse
I guess you know the tune
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again

I rode in on a Greyhound
I'll be walkin' out if I go
I was just passin' through
Must've been 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
He said I was on my way
Somewhere, I lost connection
I 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 that I've sung
Every time I had to play
While the 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
