Tiger By The Tail

(buck owens/harland howard)



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 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 make my dreams and plans

But now the pace we're livin'

Takes the wind from my sail

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 through with me

Well, i'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale

Looks like i've got a tiger by the tail



Every 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 through with me

Well, i'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale

Looks like i've got a tiger by the tail
