-- OR -- 
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
Rode in on a 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 ... 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
BREAK
If I only had a dollar ... for evry song Ive sung
And every time Ive had to play ... while the people sat there drunk
You know Id catch the next train ... back to where I live
Oh lord ... stuck in lodi again
Oh lord ... stuck in lodi again
