Lodi
Journey of Desperation: Stuck in Lodi's Hard Luck
Lyrics
Just about a year ago
Approximately a year ago
I set out on the road
I began traveling
Seekin' my fame and fortune
Searching for recognition and wealth
Lookin' for that pot of gold
Seeking a significant reward
Things got bad and things got worse
Situations became difficult and then worse
I guess you know the tune
Assuming you're familiar with the story
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again
Expressing frustration being stuck in Lodi, California, again
I rode in on a Greyhound
I arrived by Greyhound bus
I'll be walkin' out if I go
If I leave, I'll walk instead of taking transport
I was just passin' through
I was just passing through the town
Must've been seven months or more
Perhaps around seven months had passed
Ran out of time and money
Exhausted my time and finances
Looks like they took my friends
Seems like my companions have left
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
Expressing frustration being stuck in Lodi again
The man from the magazine
A person from a magazine mentioned I was progressing
He said I was on my way
Stated that I was on the right path
Somewhere, I lost connection
At some point, I lost my way
I ran out of songs to play
I ran out of songs to perform
I came into town on a one night stand
I arrived with intentions for a short stay
Looks like my plans fell through
However, my plans did not succeed
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again
Expressing frustration being stuck in Lodi again
If I only had a dollar
If I had a dollar for each song performed
For every song that I've sung
Reflecting on numerous performances
Every time I had to play
Every instance I had to entertain
While the people sat there drunk
While the audience was intoxicated
You know, I'd catch the next train
I would immediately leave for my home
Back to where I live
Return to my place of residence
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
Expressing frustration being stuck in Lodi again
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
Reiterating the frustration of being stuck in Lodi
