老歌亂談(141)Lodi

這是Creedence Clearwater Revival(清水合唱團)於1969推出的歌曲。我喜歡他們的歌，除了簡捷流暢，經常還帶有那種抒發心中鬱悶的吶喊，很符合當時年輕的自己對環境現況等諸多不滿的叛逆心情。

“Lodi”是地名，歌曲講述的是玩音樂的歌手因不得志被困在Lodi的情況，連想去城裡找個一夜情都”fell Through”。其實，大多數的人在人生的階段，多少也有類似被陷住(Stuck)的狀況，而是否能順利脫困，也只能看各人的智慧和造化了。

被點名的這個Lodi地名真的是有點衰(似乎被影射成是個爛地方)，還好的是，全世界有好幾個地方都叫Lodi。哈哈哈！

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 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 ev´ry song I´ve sung
And ev´ry 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
