Tiger By The Tail - Willie Nelson

Lyrics by：Harlan Howard/Buck Owens

Composed by：Harlan Howard/Buck Owens

I've got a tiger by the tail

It's plain to see

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

And I'm a losing weight and a turning mighty pale

And it 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

And I'm a losing weight and a turning mighty pale

And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

But 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

And I won't be much when you get through with me

And I'm a losing weight and a turning mighty pale

And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
