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