Gregg wrote this song on an ironing board with the burnt end of matches. The idea came to him in the middle of the night and he couldn’t find a pen.



[Verse 1]
I've been run down
I've been lied to
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel

[Chorus]
Like I've been tied
To the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dying

[Guitar Solo: Duane Allman]

[Verse 2]
My friends tell me
That I've been such a fool
And I have to stand by and take it, baby
All for lovin' you
I 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel

[Chorus]
Like I've been tied
To the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dying

[Guitar Solo: Dickey Betts]

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel

[Chorus]
Like I've been tied
To the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dying
