[Verse 1]
I been run down
Lord, 'n I been lied to
And I don't know why
I let that mean woman make me 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
[Chorus]
Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I've been
Tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'
[Verse 2]
My friends tell me
That I been such a fool
I have to stand back an' take it, babe
All for loving you
I drown myself in sorrow
As I look at what you done
But nothin' seems to change
The bad times stay the same
And I can't run
[Chorus]
Sometimеs I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I'vе been
Tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Oh, good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'
[Bridge]
Lord, oh no no
Been tied down, oh no
[Chorus]
Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I've been
Tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
[Outro]
LORD, yeah oh-oh-oh-ohh
Sometimes I feel like I'm dyin'
Oh Lord
