Tiger by the Tail Songtext
von Willie Nelson

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 a losing weight, and I'm turning mighty pale
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′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, it's plain to see
I won′t be much when you get through with me
I'm a losing weight, and I′m turning mighty pale
Yeah, it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

Every night you drag me where the bright lights are found
There ain't no way to slow you down
I′m as ′bout 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 a losing weight, and I′m turning mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
