Buck Owens – I’ve Got A Tiger By The Tail: Lyrics and Music Video

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
