Eric Church

Songwriter: John Fogerty

Producer: John Peets

Just about a year ago
Yeah I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune
Lookin' for a pot of gold
Things got bad and worse
Yeah I guess you will know the tune
Oh no, you're stuck in Lodi again

I rode in on the Greyhound
I'll be walkin' out if I go
I was just passin' through
Must be seven months or more
I ran out of time and money
Yeah looks like they took my friends
Oh no, I'm stuck in Lodi again

Yeah the man from the magazine
Oh he said I was on my way
Somewhere I just lost connection
Yeah ran out of songs to play
I came into town, a one night stand
It looks like my plans fell through
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again

Oh if I only had a dollar
For every song I've sung
And every time I had to play
While those people just sat there drunk
You know, I'd catch the next train
Yeah back to where I live
But oh no, I'm stuck in Lodi again
Oh oh no, I'm stuck in Lodi again

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
