Born in … Read Full Bio ↴Aaron Tippin (born July 3, 1958) is a country music singer.
Born in Pensacola, Florida, but raised in upstate South Carolina, Tippin performed in local honky-tonks in the 1970s. He competed on TNN's "You Can Be A Star" talent contest in 1986, landed a song publishing contract and moved to Nashville in 1987. During this time he wrote songs for The Kingsmen, David Ball, The Midsouth Boys, Mark Collie, and Charlie Pride. He would spend his nights working at a mill in Kentucky and spend his days driving 60 miles to Nashville to write songs.
Tippin performed his first Nashville nightclub show in 1990, and it earned him a contract with RCA records. His first single, "You've Got to Stand for Something", cracked the top 10 in 1991 and allowed him to go to the Persian Gulf with Bob Hope, to entertain the troops. Then, in 1992, Aaron's single "There Ain't Nothin' Wrong With the Radio" stayed at No. 1 for three weeks.
In 1995, Tippin married Thea Corontzos, and he, Thea, and his manager, Billy Craven, created Tippin's company, Tip Top Entertainment. Tippin also opened two hunting supply stores called Aaron Tippin Firearms. One is located close to where he lives in Smithville, Tennessee, and the other run by his father in Oak City, North Carolina.
In 1998, Tippin moved to Lyric Street Records and charted a No.1 hit with "Kiss This", co-written with his wife Thea in 2000. In the wake of 9/11, his patriotic anthem, "Where the Stars and Stripes and Eagle Fly", peaked at No. 2. Both songs crossed over onto the Hot 100 charts; in fact, "Stars And Stripes" was his biggest crossover hit.
In 2006, Tippin started up his own record label, Nippit Records; the label's name is "Tippin" spelled backwards.

Aaron Tippin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could make your every dream come true
But I admit I've got a little ways to go
Trust me baby we're closin' in quick
Before you know it we'll be stckin' the bricks
So stick like glue we got nothin' to lose
And baby don't stop we're just a gettin' started
Say you're not about to end the party
Baby hang on tight just a little bit more
I stand behind every word I say I love you baby
There's your reason to stay
Don't be flip floppin' when you know that we're rockin' along
I can't believe you want to throw in the towel
Stop and think of what I'm talking about
You threw your hat in the ring so go and get that thing
And baby don't stop we're just a gettin' started
Like an old violin or vintage wine all good things come in good time
We might run out of road but it ain't the end of the line
Honey I swear up and down our turn's about to come around
We'll have it all in the long haul
And baby don't stop we're just a gettin' started
Oh baby don't stop we're just a gettin' started
In this song, Aaron Tippin is trying to reassure his lover that even though things may not be perfect, they are still heading in the right direction.

He reminds her that he loves her and asks her to trust him, promising that they will achieve success if she sticks with him. The metaphor of an old violin or vintage wine suggests that good things take time to mature and he is confident that they will eventually hit their stride.
The chorus is particularly memorable and uplifting, urging his partner to keep pushing through the challenges and not give up prematurely. The line "don't quit now we got our foot in the door" is an encouragement to keep striving for success, no matter how difficult it may seem.
Overall, "Don't Stop" is a motivational love song, with a positive message that is both romantic and empowering. It is a reminder that relationships and dreams require patience, perseverance, and dedication to see them through to fruition.

Ready for revolutionary war mark 2. There's going to be a point where America says enough. Most Americans (I don't consider they who shall not be named Americans) are afraid to stand up, and in my opinion it's time we stand up and say enough is enough and take back our government, and our home. First through lawful protest and contacting government officials but unfortunately a LOT of people don't even know we can contact gov officials and speak our minds and if they don't listen, then we protest. Its to much work to contact them, go to council meetings etc. There will be a straw that breaks the cammels back, and that straw is getting mighty heavy. Americans are the majority but unfortunately we're the silent majority.
