Lyrics I've Got a Tiger by the Tail (Live at the White House) - 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
Well, I'ma losing weight and a-turning mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
Well, I thought the day I met you, you were meek like a lamb
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans
And now, the pace we′re living takes the wind from my sails
Hey, 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
Well, I′ma losing weight and a turning mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
Well, every night you drag me where the bright lights are found
And there ain′t no way to slow you down
I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gale
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′ma losing weight and a-turning mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
