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'
