Lyrics:
When I was just a boy, my Papa said to me
Son if you want the best, well, the best don’t come for free
And if you find the One, the One to make your Queen
You better be ready be ready yeah to be a King

No crown upon your head can make you into a man
You’ve got to do the very best every day best you can and
It’s my advice to you, sometimes the truth it hurts
Everything worth keeping yeah takes a lot of work and

I’ve been trippin’ on you girl yes, I have
You’ve been trippin on me we gonna work it on out
I’ve been trippin’ on you girl yes, I have
You’ve been trippin on me we gonna work it on out

And like you always say, our love is like the tide
Sometimes it’s in and full sometimes it is out and dry
But we keep the faith, it will come in again
But then it goes back out because that’s the way it’s always been and

Every bed of roses yeah has its thorns
Something something throwing sticks and stones
Tell me girl what the hell we’re fighting about
Something something gonna work it on out on out on out (unclear on this one)
We gonna work it on out

I’ve been trippin’ on you girl yes, I have
You’ve been trippin on me we gonna work it on out
I’ve been trippin’ on you girl yes, I have
You’ve been trippin on me we gonna work it on out yeah out yeah out yeah

We gonna work it on out yeah out yeah out yeah
We gonna work it on out
Work it out
Work it out

I’ve been trippin’ on you girl yes, I have
You’ve been trippin on me we gonna work it on out
I’ve been trippin’ on you girl yes, I have
You’ve been trippin on me we gonna work it on out

I always wondered why more people dont know this amazing music, but then i remember all the right people do. Music for our soul.

[timalvarez]

I think I’m on 3rd listen already and sent it to my wife and kids. They grew up listening and it’s great to still be able to share more of your music with them. I used to sing peaches and cream to them in our hard times

[wecomeinpeace]

Its always a little scary to play new music from a band you adore. I have this selfish want for them to be the sound ive always loved. But i have to be open and willing to accept change. Just like the Trio has changed over the years. And each time created new and beautiful music. Great stuff. See you guys in Philly!! Cant wait.

[amydau]

John, you can't be taking off for so long between new releases, mate. Really, really grateful you're back for 2025. ✌️

[MyFavouriteMartin]

JB you've done it again. Love it and Such a catchy chorus. 👍🤟♥

[danielvega]

Please never stop working on new music John 🙏🏻 thank you for your music is fuel for the fire inside me 🔥 greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Pura Vida! ✌🏻

[ianeldridge]

Love it! 17 years with my girl and it's the work that makes it last! See you this summer @ Red Rocks!!

[charlestaylor]

I've been listening to your music for the last couple of days, day dreaming, thoughts of what I would say to you if I had the chance. I think about how I've heard music that I haven't heard in decades and then realize I know all the words to the whole album with out even trying to remember, I realize they're a part of me, and your music is etched on my soul as well. That's why this video is so great, plus as I was writing this I see you are coming to California I look forward to seeing you. Everybody calls me Charlie, I can't wait. Outstanding video!

[OffTheWaughFilms]

Love it! 🤟heard this the day it came out. Can’t wait to hear it live.

[greeneyedpixie]

could be your best song since ''Sista'' lots of love John! Dunno what life would be without you and your band ♥ ♥
Thank you for changing my life 25 years ago, Thanks for having me for 'work experience' and teaching me what I needed to know, Uncle John. XX

[bryantlugo]

This dropped at a crazy time, I literally just had one of those situations with my gf just yesterday, thanks so much for such relatable heartfelt great music!

[BackIr]

All those 2000s high school kids with too many leather bracelets formed together under a trench coat and now we have John Butler. And thank god they did.

Anger should be resolved peacefully and silently.
