Lodi, Lodi,
For what it’s worth,
I don’t want to rescue you,
I’d rather save the earth,
I’ve got my own agenda,
I’ve got my number one,
And you can take your chances,
Find your place out in the sun,
But when I see you losing it,
When I see you fading fast,
The little piece of conscience, girl,
It wakes me up at last,
And then I save you, Lodi, one more time,
I just save you, Lodi, just in time,
And I’m not saying that they’ve got you on the run,
And you’re wrapped around their fingers,
And they’re having too much fun,
But sometimes I wonder who’s really paying the price,
When you’re the one who’s last to leave,
But you’re the first one thinking twice,
When I see you wasting it,
When I see you hurting hard,
All that sweetness in the desert air,
It makes me get so mad,
And then I save you, Lodi, one more time,
I just save you, Lodi, just in time,
Lodi, Lodi,
You could say it’s just a phase,
And you see better times ahead,
And I’ve seen better days,
And there ain’t no question,
Sure there ain’t no doubt,
I fought all my demons long before you were about,
But when I see you solo,
When I see you all alone,
Someone turns the light back on and I know where I’m going,
And then I save you, Lodi, one more time,
I just save you, Lodi, just in time,
Yes I save you, Lodi,
I just save you, Lodi, one last time !
