I once met a guy from Lodi, California, and I asked him what he thought of CCR’s ode to the town (”Oh Lord I’m stuck up in Lodi again”). He laughed and said the song was on the playlist of every high school dance there as pretty every teen in town dreams about getting the hell out

Reminds me of The Band’s “Up On Cripple Creek” that mentions Lake Charles, LA (my home town). At one time or the other, that segment was the bumper music for every radio station in the area and the song was played at nearly every party.

Since this was a song about a gambler, for years I always thought it was "stuck in low die again" with low die meaning dice.....LOL!
