Whippin' Post

(album: Them Or Us - 1984)

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,
Drinking in some cross-town bar

Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I been
Tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dying

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
Nothing 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 whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dying
