Waylon Jennings - Tiger By The Tail lyrics

[Chorus] 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 losing weight and turning mighty pale And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail [Verse 1] Well, every night you drag me where the bright lights're found There ain't no way to slowing 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 [Chorus] [Instrumental] [Verse 2] 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've been living takes the wind from my sails And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail [Chorus]
