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, Ill 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, Im 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.
Mmmm... If I only had a dollar, for evry song Ive sung. And evry time Ive had to play while people sat there drunk. You know, Id catch the next train back to where I live. Oh ! lord, Im stuck in lodi again. Oh ! lord, Im stuck in lodi again.
