[Verse 1]

Just about a year ago

I set out on the road

Seekin' my fame and fortune

And 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

[Verse 2]

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 friend

Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again

[Verse 3]

The man from the magazine

Said I was on my way

Somewhere I lost connections

I 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

[Verse 4]

If I only had a dollar

For every song I sung

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

[Refrain]

Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
