Waylon Jennings Lyrics for Song: I've Got a Tiger By the Tail
 Lyrics for Album: Pure [2009]
 
 
 
 6180>(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 through with me
 
 I'm losing weight and turning mighty pale
 
 And it 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 slowin' 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 it's plain to see
 
 I won't be much when you get through with me
 
 I'm losing weight and turning mighty pale
 
 And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail.
 
 
 
 --- Instrumental ---
 
 
 
 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've been living 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 through with me
 
 I'm losing weight and turning mighty pale
 
 And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail...
