Just about a year ago
Yeah I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune
Lookin' for a pot of gold
Things got bad and worse
Yeah I guess you will know the tune
Oh no, you're stuck in Lodi again

I rode in on the Greyhound
I'll be walkin' out if I go
I was just passin' through
Must be seven months or more
I ran out of time and money
Yeah looks like they took my friends
Oh no, I'm stuck in Lodi again

Yeah the man from the magazine
Oh he said I was on my way
Somewhere I just lost connection
Yeah ran out of songs to play
I came into town, a one night stand
It looks like my plans fell through
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again

Oh if I only had a dollar
For every song I've sung
And every time I had to play
While those people just sat there drunk
You know, I'd catch the next train
Yeah back to where I live
But oh no, I'm stuck in Lodi again
Oh oh no, I'm stuck in Lodi again
