Del Reeves I've Got A Tiger By The Tail
Songwriters: Howard, Harlan; Owens, Buck;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 losin' weight and turnin' kinda 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
Well, every night you drag me where the bright lights're found
There ain't no way to slow you down
I'm as about as helpless as a leaf in a gale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
I've got a tiger by the tail
Yeah, it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
