I've Got A Tiger By The Tail
Buck Owens & Harlan Howard
I've Got A Tiger By The Tail, it's plain to see;
I won't be much when you get thru' with me.
Well,I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale.
Looks like I've Got A Tiger By The Tail.
Well, I thought the day I met you, you were meek as a lamb;
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans.
But now, the pace we're livin' takes the wind from my sail
And it looks like I've Got A Tiger By The Tail.
I've Got A Tiger By The Tail, it's plain to see;
I won't be much when you get thru' with me.
Well,I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale.
Looks like I've Got A Tiger By The Tail.
Well, ev'ry night you drag me where the bright lights are found; There ain'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.
I've Got A Tiger By The Tail, it's plain to see;
I won't be much when you get thru' with me.
Well,I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale.
Looks like I've Got A Tiger By The Tail.
