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 »

We were all drinking at marge's one 
night 
When an old cowboy came through the 
door 
He took a few shaky steps 
Then he started to moan 
And he keeled over right on the floor 
Doc came on over, took his stethoscope 
out 
He listened and he looked in his eyes 
He said, "Boys stick around 
I just might need your help 
I'm afraid this will be a long night" 

CHORUS 
Cause there's a five gallon tear, a five- gallon tear 
Lodged in this poor boy's heart 
By the look in his eyes he ain't cried in 
years 
And he's reatining a five gallon tear 

Doc wrote a prescription to induce him 
to cry 
It was whiskey and sad country songs 
We propped him up in a booth 
And poured a drink down his throat 
Then we turned that old wurlitzer on 
Well he spluttered and he coughed 
And he hung down his head 
As those lonely songs worked on his 
heart 
When the memories started coming six 
minutes apart 
We laid him face-up on the bar 

SECOND CHORUS 
And then a five gallon tear, a five gallon 
tear 
Slowly welled up in his eyes 
We all yelled, "Push!" and we all gave a 
cheer 
When he cried that five gallon tear 

BRIDGE 
That jar by the door don't hold pig feet 
no more 
The contents are sparkling clear 
That liquid within is not moonshine or 
gin 
It's a reminder to everyone here 

THIRD CHORUS 
Yeah, it's a five gallon tear, a five gallon 
tear 
Let this be a lesson to you 
Keep your sorrow inside for too many 
years 
And you'll cry that five gallon tear 

Buddy you'll cry 
You'll cry a five gallon tear 

Reprise: REPEAT THIRD CHORUS
