I've Got A Tiger By The Tail Lyrics & Chords By Buck Owens

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

Well I thought the day I met you, you were meek as a lamb
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans
Now, the pace we're livin' 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

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

Well, every night you drag me where the bright lights're 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

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
