I been run down

Lord, an' i been lied to

An' i don't know why

I let that mean woman make out a fool

Well, she took all my money

An' wrecked my new car

Now she's with one of my good-time buddies,

Drinkin' in some cross-town bar

Sometimes i feel

Well, sometimes i feel

Like i been

Tied, well, to the whippin' post

Tied to the whippin' post

Tied to the whippin' post

Good lord, i feel like i'm dyin'



My friends tell me

Lord, that i been such a fool

But i have to stand back an' take it, baby

All for loving you



I drown myself in sorrow

As i look at what you done

Nothin' seems to change;

That bad times stay the same,

And i can't run



Sometimes i feel

Well, sometimes i feel

Like i been

Tied, well, to the whippin' post

Tied to the whippin' post

Tied to the whippin' post

Ah! good lord, i feel like i'm dyin'



Lord, lord, lord, lord, lord

Yeah, lord

Lord i been tied down



Sometimes i feel

Well, sometimes i feel

Like i been

Tied, oh lord, to the whippin' post

Yeah, tied to the whippin' post

Well, i'm tied to the whippin' post

Yeah, lord

Lord, lord, lord, lord

You know, sometimes i really do believe

Well i believe

I said i believe

I said i do believe

I said i really do believe

Well, i must say it one more time,

I believe

There just ain't no such thing

As dyin'
