John Folgerty said himself in and interview - the Lodi is not about anything or anyplace in paticular .e.g. Lodi California. this song is about a man being stuck in life, feeing trapped with no real way out. he goes on to say, that he had traveled northern california and had came across a town called Lodi..which looked like to him no place he would ever want to be from. yes, perhaps Lodi Cali inspired the song tittle, Art imitating LIFE. Folgerty wrote from personal refference, and sometimes with in writting lyrics one needs something to tie everything down to and exact theme, i believe Folgerty- who at the time was being sued by his own brother and his band mates, wrote Lodi from Deja' vu - like damn, here i am again Stuck. like i pointed out, durring CCR popularity FOLGERTY WAS BEING SUED BY EVERYONE. stop over anal lyzing this mans music. this song is not what you think it is, or what i think it is..it is whatever it is. Lodi is a metaphor of which you never want to be stuck in. IT IS NOT ABOUT LODI CALIFORNIA- tho Folgerty had passed through that town in his travels. that part is pure coincidental.
