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 know the tune..
oh,  Lord, stuck  in Lodi again.
I  rode in on a Greyhound, I'll 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, stuck  in Lodi again.
 (INTERLUDE:) ...
The  man from the magazine, said  I was on my way..
somewhere  I lost con..nection, ran  out of songs to play.
 I came  into town on a one-night  stand, looks like  my
 plans fell through..
oh,  Lord, stuck  in Lodi again.
 (INTERLUDE:)
If  I only had a dollar for every  song I've sung.
 And every  time I've 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.
...  (x2)(Fade.)
 A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
