Lodi Lyrics
And Tutorial By Creedence Clearwater Revival

Below you'll find the Lodi lyrics and my full version acoustic demo.

This song was released in Aug 1969 and reached #52 on the charts. Forgerty was looking for a name of a town to escape from for the song and Lodi, which is about 70 miles from his hometown of Berkley Ca, became the town .. even tho Fogerty himself said he has never been to Lodi Ca.

--- Start Of Lodi Lyrics ---

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
