Lodi
Written by John Fogerty
Performed originally by Creedence Clearwater Revival
One of the most popular songs CCR ever recorded and performed that never charted in the Top 40..it was the "B" side of the single "Bad Moon Rising" and peaked at #52 on the Hot 100 singles chart
The song was released in 1969 on the "Green River" album --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just about a year ago
I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune
Lookin' for a pot of gold
Thing got bad, 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 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
If I only had a dollar
For every song I've sung
And every time I 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 a Lodi again
Oh ! Lord, I'm stuck in a Lodi again
I remember that song (now it's in my head!).
Thanks for the information and song.
