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 a-gain-.
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 a-gain-.
The man from the magazine
said I was on my way.
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 a-gain-.
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, I'm stuck in Lodi a-gain-.
Oh! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi a-gain-.
