Текст песни I've Got a Tiger by the Tail - Waylon Jennings

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.

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...
