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'
