Verse:

Just about a year ago, I set out on the road.

Seekin' my fame and fortune, I'm lookin' for a pot of gold.

Things got bad and things got worse, I guess you know the tune,

Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.

Verse:

I boarded on the Greyhound, and I'm walkin' there, by the road.

I was just passin' through, it must be seven months or more.

I ran out of time and money, it looks like the two were friends.

Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.

Verse:

A man from a magazine, who said I was on my way.

But somewhere I lost connection, I ran out of songs to play.

I planned many times of one-night stands, it looks like my plans fell through.

Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.

Verse:

If I only had a dollar for every song I've sung.

Or every time I had to play while people slapped their tongue.

I know I'll catch the next train, back to where I live.

Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.

Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.
