Lyrics for Song: I've Got a Tiger By the Tail
Lyrics for Album: Pure [2009]



(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...
