I've got a tiger by the tail it's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through to me
I'm losin' weight and turnin' mighty pale it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
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...
[ guitar - steel ]
Well every night you drag me where the bright lights are 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...
It looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
