I been run down
Lord, I been lied to
And I don`t know why
I let that mean woman make out a fool
She took all my money
Wrecked my new car
Now she`s with one of my good-time buddies,
Drinkin` in some cross-town bar
Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I been
Tied to the whippin` post
Tied to the whippin` post
Good Lord, I feel like I`m dyin`
My friends tell me
That I been such a fool
But I got to stand there an` take it
All for loving you
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
Sometimes I feel
Like I been
Tied to the whippin` post
Tied to the whippin` post
Good Lord, I feel like I`m dyin`
