Waylon Jennings — Ive 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 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...
