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'
