I've Got A Tiger By The Tail Lyrics - David Houston

I've got a tiger by the tail it's plain to see 

I won't be much when you get thru with me 

Well I'm losing weight and turning mighty pale looks like I've got a tiger by the tail 

Well 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 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... 

[ guitar - steel ] 

Well every night you drag me where the bright lights are found 

There ain't no way to try 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... 

Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
