Just about a year ago
I went out on the road
Seeking my fame and fortune
And I was looking for
A pot of gold

Things got bad and things got worse
And I guess you 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 here
Musta been seven months or more

I ran out of traveling money
It looks like they took my friends
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again

The man from the magazine
He said I was on my way
But somehow I lost connection
You know I run out of
Songs to play

I came into town on a
One night stand and it
Looks like my plans fell through
Oh, Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again

Now if I only had a dollar
For every song I've sung
And every time the band was late
And people just sat there drunk

You know, I would
Catch the next train and
Go back to where I live

Oh, Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
Oh, Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
