A thank you to 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
Well, I'm losing weight and I'm turnin' mighty 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
