Lodi - Bo Diddley

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 will know the tune

Oh!

Lord, Stuck in Lodi again

Rode in on the 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, I’m 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

Mmmm…

If I only had a dollar, for ev’ry song I’ve sung

And ev’ry 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, I’m stuck in Lodi again

Oh!

Lord, I’m stuck in Lodi again
