I've Got a Tiger By the Tail

[Chorus: 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 a turning mighty pale Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail [Verse 1: Buck Owens] 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 living takes the wind from my sails And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail [Chorus: 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 a turning mighty pale Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail [Verse 2: Buck Owens] Well every night you drag me where the bright lights are found There ain't no way to slow you down Im as 'bout as helpless as a leaf in a gale And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail [Chorus: 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 a turning mighty pale Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
