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 again
Rode in on the 
Greyhound, 
I'll be walkin' out if 
I goI was just passin' through, must be seven months or more
Ran out of time and money, looks like they took my friends
Oh Lord, stuck in 
Lodi again
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 again
Mmm, if I only had a dollar, for ev'ry song 
I've sungAnd ev'ry time 
I've had to play while people sat there drunk
You know, 
I'd catch the next train back to where 
I liveOh Lord, 
I'm stuck in 
Lodi again, oh 
Lord, I'm stuck in 
Lodi again
