Ernest Tubb - I've Got A Tiger By The Tail lyrics

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