Lodi

(John C. Fogerty)



Just about a year ago

I sat out on the road

Seeking my fame and fortune

Looking for a pot of gold.



Things got bad

And things got worse

I guess you know the tune

Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again.



Came in on the Greyhound

I'll be walking out if I go

I was just passin' through

Must been seven months or more.



Ran out of time and money

It looks like

They took my friends

Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, the man from the magazine

He said, I was on my way

Somewhere I lost connection

And ran out of songs to play.



I came into town

A one night stand

It looks like my plans fell through

Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again.



Well, if I only had a dollar

For every song I've sung

Every time I've had to play

While people sat there drunk



You know I'd catch

The next train back

To where I lived

Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again.



Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again.

Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again...
