Just about a year ago, I set out on the road
Seeking my fame and fortune, searching for a pot of gold,
Things got bad and things got worse,
I guess you know the tune,
Oh Lord, Stuck in Lodi again
Pulled in on the greyhound, I'll be walking out if I go, I was just passing through must've been seven months ago,
Ran out of time and money, looks like they took my friends
Oh lord Stuck in Lodi again
Man from the magazine said I was on my way
Somewhere I lost connection I ran out of songs to play
Came into town 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
For every time I've had to play while people sat there drunk
Ya know I'd catch the next train back to where I live
Oh lord Stuck in Lodi again
