I've Got A Tiger By The Tail - Buck Owens

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 sails

And it 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 as 'bout as helpless as a leaf in a gale;

And it looks like I’ve Got A Tiger By The Tail.
