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

And what is wrong with these lyrics?

Was telling some folks just the other day about a druggie that tried to rob a Waffle House - yeah, that's not too smart to try.

Small towns are not like big cities, for a reason.

CMT ain’t country no more...

Go woke, Go Broke,

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Time to treat CMT a lesson as in a nationwide boycott of them until they apologize to Aldean and America for being fools and cowards.

They are off my watching list.

Perhaps we need a stronger, New pro-American country music organization/channel.

[Angelino97]

From what I’ve read, lots of rap lyrics celebrate murder. And that’s okay?

CMT pulls Jason Aldean’s new ‘Try That in a Small Town’ music video after star denies it is a ‘pro-lynching song’ and criticizes BLM

[Ciaphas Cain]

Never apologize for this.

Never!

[LIConFem]

I can't decide which song I love more, Aaron Lewis' "Am I the Only One" or this song.

The only people who could possibly see either as controversial are leftist thugs and those who support them.

[Jumper]

Stick to mama, jail, trains, guitars and pickup trucks;)

[fella]

Considering the state of America’s judicial system that appears to be
lacking justice. Old fashioned lynching doesn’t seem like such a bad option.

Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk / Carjack an old lady at a red light / Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store

By the critics and MSM calling out this song as racist, they are admitting who is doing the sucker punching, carjacking, and the robbing of liquor stores.

[fella]

The corporate moguls have done to country music what they did to rock n roll.

[Celtic Conservative]

It’s a Paramount/Viacom/MTV organization, so no real suprise. Some pink haired aberration probably complained to the company and, voila! banned.

Hank Williams Jr “A Country Boy Can Survive” 1982

I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me by my name, just hillbilly
My grandpa taught me how to live off the land
And his taught him to be a businessman
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights
And I’d send him some homemade wine

But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
For 43 dollars my friend lost his life
I’d love to spit some beech nut in that dude’s eyes
And shoot him with my old .45
‘Cause a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

The Fightin’ Side Of Me
Song by Merle Haggard 1970

I hear people talkin’ bad about the way we have to live here in this country
Harpin’ on the wars we fight, an’ gripin’ ‘bout the way things oughta be
An’ I don’t mind ‘em switchin’ sides, an’ standin’ up for things they believe in
When they’re runnin’ down my country, man
They’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me
Yeah, walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me
Runnin’ down a way of life our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep
If you don’t love it, leave it
Let this song I’m singin’ be a warnin’
When you’re runnin’ down my country, man
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me

[Tench_Coxe]

"“Got a gun that my grandad gave me / They say one day they’re gonna round up / Well, that s–t may fly in the city, good luck,” he advises, though it’s unclear who “they” refers to."

IMHO, "they" know who he is singing about, and don't want "their" intended victims thinking about it. IMHO this is what is really bothering "them", the racism angle is a convenient canard.

This video was filmed in my hometown of Columbia, Tennessee. That’s our county courthouse you see behind Jason, who lives here. That evening sunset you see is not edited... They look like that all the time. We love our small town life, and this song.

[BudgieRamone]

Simple Man by good ol Charlie Daniels is pretty hard core too... just sayin’.

[mikelets456]

“Controversial “= when it exposes the radical left.

[Pollard]

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

[Pollard]

"Try That in a Small Town" is a song written by Kelley Lovelace, Neil Thrasher, Tully Kennedy, and Kurt Allison, and recorded by American country music singer Jason Aldean.

Took four people to write it and Aldean isn't even one of them.
