Whipping Post

I've been run down

And I've been lied to

And I don't know why

I let that mean woman

Make me a fool

She took all my money

Wrecked my new car

Now she's with one of my good-time buddies

They're drinkin' in some crosstown bar

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'

My friends tell me

That I've seen such a fool

And I have to atand by and take it baby

All for lovin' you

Drown myself in sorrow

As I look at what you've done

But nothin' seems to change

The bad times stay the same

And I can't run

Sometimes I feel

Sometimes I feel like I've been tied the whippin' post
