CMT is going into Bud Light zone at warp speed. This man is a huge country star ... and hopefully he will continue to defend himself and not fold like so many spineless artists accused of "offending" people.

CMT, like CMA are no longer country music shows. Too many hip hopster wokesters.

Does Country Music Television still show videos? Serious question. When I have channel surfed past that channel, they always seem to be showing old movies.

MTV doesn’t have music videos anymore, so I thought perhaps CMT had changed their programming as well.

Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Carjack an old lady at a red light
Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
Ya think it’s cool, well, act a fool if ya like

Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
Stomp on the flag and light it up
Yeah, ya think you’re tough

Well, try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won’t take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don’t
Try that in a small town

Got a gun that my granddad gave me
They say one day they’re gonna round up
Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck

Try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won’t take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don’t
Try that in a small town

Full of good ol’ boys, raised up right
If you’re looking for a fight
Try that in a small town
Try that in a small town

Try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won’t take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don’t
Try that in a small town

Try that in a small town
Ooh-ooh
Try that in a small town

Try That In A Small Town

[Verse 1]

Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Carjack an old lady at a red light
Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
Ya think it’s cool, well, act a fool if ya like
Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
Stomp on the flag and light it up
Yeah, ya think you’re tough

[Chorus]
Well, try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
‘Round here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won’t take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don’t
Try that in a small town

[Verse 2]
Got a gun that my granddad gave me
They say one day they’re gonna round up
Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck

[Chorus]
Try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
‘Round here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won’t take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don’t
Try that in a small town

[Bridge]
Full of good ol’ boys, raised up right
If you’re looking for a fight
Try that in a small town
Try that in a small town

[Chorus]
Try that in a small town
(See how far ya make it down the road)
‘Round here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won’t take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don’t
Try that in a small town
Try that in a small town, mm-mm

[Outro]
Try that in a small town

Same album as Flyover States. Video below. Not new songs. Just another hit and miss from the left.

Misleading headline as nobody cares anymore what CMT plays for music videos.

Almost the entire world streams music videos on demand across multiple internet platforms.

Also, this song has just shot to number one on most all the country charts.

"This man is a huge country star"

I am not a country music fan, or at least bro-country, but this guy, you can't even get into the parking lots at his stadium shows.

No doubt there was a lot of nashlib whining as it being too provacative, racis’ and inciting violence.
