Just about a year ago I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune And looking for a pot of gold
Things got bad, Things got worse I Guess you know the tune
Oh lord, stuck in Lodi again
The man from the magazine Said I was on my way
Somewhere I lost connection Ran out of songs to play
Came into town on a one night stand Looks like my plans fell through
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again
And I rode in on a grey hound I'll be walking out if I go
I was just passing 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
If I only had a dollar For every song I sung
And everytime I 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
