Buck Owens
I’ve Got A Tiger By The Tail
[Chorus]
I've got a tiger by the tail it's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
Well I'm a losing weight and I'm turning mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

[Verse 1]
Well the first day that I met you you were meek as a lamb
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans
Now the pace we're living takes the wind from my sails
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
I've got a tiger by the tail

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Well every night you drag me where the bright lights are found
There aren't no way to slow you down
I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gale and it looks like
I've got a tiger by the tail

[Chorus]

[Outro]
I've got a tiger by the tail
