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


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