Workin' It Out Lyrics - Shel Silverstein

Well I've been spendin' my life lookin' for a shoulder 

To rest my head when the nights get colder 

But the days are gettin' longer and I'm gettin' older 

Been long time workin' it out 

I been a long time workin' it out I been a long time workin' it out 

I been a long time workin' it out I been a long time workin' it out 

Now I got a little woman to scrub my floor 

Right down the road I got me two or three more 

And you know none of them knows about the one next door 

I been a long time workin' it out 

I been a long time workin' it out... 

Well it was late one night when I stole a little money 

I bought a couple of things and then gave them to my honey 

And the judge said boy if you this that's funny 

You got a long time workin' it out 

I got a long time workin' it out... 

[ guitar ] 

Yeah well I look all around me and what do I see 

The whole wide world got trouble like me 

Between the taxes the missus and the deep blue sea 

You'll be a long time workin' it out 

We'll be a long time workin' it out...
