Tiger by the Tail Songtext
von Waylon Jennings

I′ve go 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 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 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
