I’ve Got A Tiger By The Tail Lyrics By Buck Owens

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
