Lodi lyrics by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Just about a year ago,
I set out on the road.
Seeking my fame and fortune,
looking for a pot of gold.

But things got bad, and things got worse,
I guess you'll know the tune.
Oh Lord, Stuck in Lodi again.

Rode in on the Greyhound,
I'll be walking out if I go.
I was just passing through,
must be seven months or more.

I ran out of time and money,
looks like they took my friends.
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.

The man from the magazine
said I was on my way.
Somewhere I lost connections,
and 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.

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
go back to where I live.
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again.

Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again.
