Lodi When

How just yesterday I was a younger man

And tomorrow I'll be dead

I found you in the in-between

And you'll live forever in my head

If you could write a book on the man that you once were

Would you write about drinking or would you write about her?

If you could just go back to the places you once been

Would you run back to her arms or back to Lodi when

He made a big mess of all the songs he wrote

Sing to you come daylight, die before he woke

Song about tomorrow today

How the time stays ticking away

Some dreamer took the wrong train in Lodi whеn

Thought he needed saving again

If you knew еvery answer to every question why

Would you have rode the fear, boy, and looked her in the eye?

If you could write a book on the man that you once were

Would you write of the pain, boy, or would you write the cure?

And all of this time you spent looking for a savior

Back in Lodi when you was young

Just to find out you can save yourself

Back in Lodi when you were strong

And all of this time you spent looking for a savior

Back in Lodi when you was young

Just to find out you can save yourself

Back in Lodi when he was strong

Some song about tomorrow today

How the time stays ticking away

Some dreamer took the wrong train in Lodi when

Thought he needed saving again

If you could write a book on the man that you once were

Would you write about drinking or would you write about her?

If you could just go back to the places you once been

Would you run back to her arms or back to Lodi when?
