Aaron Tippin

Aaron Dupree Tippin (born July 3, 1958 in Pensacola, Florida) is an American country music artist and record producer. Initially a songwriter for Acuff-Rose Music, he gained a recording contract with RCA Records in 1990. His debut single, "You've Got to Stand for Something" became a popular anthem for American soldiers fighting in the Gulf War and helped to establish him as a neotraditionalist country act with songs that catered primarily to the American working class. Under RCA's tenure, he recorded five studio albums and a Greatest Hits package. By the later half of the 1990s, however, his sales and chart performance began to decline, and he was dropped from the label's roster. more »

I had dreams that were bigger than the Montana sky 
And we were gonna do great in Great Falls 
I just knew we were this time 
But when winter finally broke, so were we 
You'll never know how bad that hurt 
'Cause this ain't what I meant 
When I promised you the world 
I lost the farm in Kansas 
Along with a lot of pride 
Then I almost lost my life 
Down in that West Virginia mine 
And that motel room in Memphis 
Was a long way from diamonds and pearls 
And that sure ain't what I meant 
When I promised you the world 

[Chorus]
I swear your love is stronger 
Than any dream of mine I've ever drug you through 
And I swear I wasn't lyin' 
They just never did come true 
You've always bet on this old gambler 
Every time I gave the wheel a whirl 
But this ain't what I meant 
When I promised you the world 

Now this Shreveport sun is settin' 
On another broken dream of mine 
And I guess that mansion on the hill 
Is pretty hard to see tonight 
But as long as there's a breath of life in me 
I'm gonna get it for you, girl 
'Cause this ain't what I meant 
When I promised you the world 

[Chorus]

No, this sure ain't what I meant 
When I promised you the world
