Soon To Be's
Fans on the street, Bridgestone’s packed tight,
Spotlights shine where the legends light up the night,
You hear the roar from the crowd, the big stars play,
But just down the street, there’s another kind of stage.
At Rippy’s, the speakers hum with a different sound,
Six-string dreams, playin’ for tips and a little hometown,
They’re pickin’ and singin’, pourin’ hearts in their songs,
You might not know their names—but it won’t take long.
Where the lights burn bright and the music’s free,
One day they’re nobody, next they’re on TV,
Grab a local brew, raise it up and see,
At Rippy’s Bar, we toast the soon-to-be’s!
Some playin’ covers, some singin’ their own,
Every chord’s a story ‘bout where they’re from,
You feel the hunger in every note they play,
Tonight, they’re on Broadway—but Nashville won’t let ‘em stay.
You see ‘em on that corner, just a step away,
From dive bar nights to sold-out stage,
The next Miranda, Luke, or Tennessee king,
Right here at Rippy’s—just listen and drink.
Where the lights burn bright and the music’s free,
One day they’re nobody, next they’re on TV,
Grab a local brew, raise it up and see,
At Rippy’s Bar, we toast the soon-to-be’s!
So sip that Yazoo, let the good times roll,
Every sip, every song, got a story to be told,
They’re singin’ for their shot, playin’ for their chance,
Tonight’s just a bar—but tomorrow’s their dance!
Where the lights burn bright and the music’s free,
One day they’re nobody, next they’re on TV,
Grab a local brew, raise it up and see,
At Rippy’s Bar, we toast the soon-to-be’s!
