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 know the tune Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again I came in on a 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 It looks like they took my friends Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again Well The man from the magazine He said I was on my way Somewhere I lost connection and Ran out of songs to play I came into town on 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, Stuck in Lodi again Oh lord stuck in Lodi again
