I've Got a Tiger by the Tail - Buck Owens

作词：Harlan Howard/Buck Owens

作曲：Harlan Howard/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

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

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 as 'bout 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
