Lodi
Lost on Life's Highway: Lodi's Melody of Struggle
Lyrics
Just about a year ago, I set out on the road
Setting out on a journey about a year ago.
Seeking my fame and fortune, searching for a pot of gold,
Seeking fame, fortune, and a pot of gold.
Things got bad and things got worse,
Facing difficulties that escalated over time.
I guess you know the tune,
Acknowledging a familiar and challenging situation.
Oh Lord, Stuck in Lodi again
Expressing frustration and being stuck in Lodi again.
Pulled in on the greyhound, I'll be walking out if I go, I was just passing through must've been seven months ago,
Arriving in Lodi via Greyhound, recalling a visit seven months prior.
Ran out of time and money, looks like they took my friends
Running out of time and money, losing friends in the process.
Oh lord Stuck in Lodi again
Expressing despair and being stuck in Lodi again.
Man from the magazine said I was on my way
Being recognized as on the way to success by a magazine, but losing momentum.
Somewhere I lost connection I ran out of songs to play
Losing connection and running out of songs to play.
Came into town a one night stand
Arriving in town for a one-night stand that didn't go as planned.
Looks like my plans fell through
Expressing disappointment as plans fall through.
Oh lord Stuck in Lodi again
Reiterating frustration of being stuck in Lodi again.
If I only had a dollar for every song I've sung
If compensated for every song sung, there would be enough to leave Lodi.
For every time I've had to play while people sat there drunk
Highlighting the challenges faced while performing for inebriated audiences.
Ya know I'd catch the next train back to where I live
Expressing a desire to return home with sufficient funds.
Oh lord Stuck in Lodi again
Reiterating frustration of being stuck in Lodi again.
