Just about a year ago I sat out on the road Seeking my fame and fortune looking for a pot of gold Things got bad and things got worse I guess you know the tune Oh Lord I'm stuck in Lodi again I rode in on the Greyhound I'll be walking out if I go I was just passin' through must been seven months ago I ran out of time and money it looks like they took my friend 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 a one night stand it looks like my plans fell through Oh Lord I'm stuck in Lodi again If I only had a dollar for every song I've sung Every time I pass the place while people sat there drunk You know I'd catch the next train back to where I lived Oh Lord I'm stuck in Lodi again oh Lord I'm stuck in Lodi again Oh Lord I'm stuck in Lodi again
