I`ve Got A Tiger By The Tail — текст песни (Harlan Howard)

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
I`m losing weight and turning mighty pale and it looks like I`ve got a tiger by the tail

Now I`ve thought the day I met you you were meek as a lamb
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans
But now the pace we`re living takes the wind from the sails
And it looks like I`ve got a tiger by the tail
I`ve got a tiger by the tail...
[ guitar ]
Now every night you drag me where the bright lights are found
There ain`t no way to slow you down
And 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 looks like I`ve got a tiger by the tail
