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 passin' 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 ev'ry song i've sung

And ev'ry 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
