How about just saying it’s about “vigilante justice”?

I didn't get that out of the song. The lines about gathering up a group of guys and going after criminals makes me think of Westerns where the Sheriff deputizes a bunch of townfolk to help him go after bandits or whatever.

It's not even about that, really.

"It's time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground."

Plus, Willie Nelson sings on that track--no one ever accused him of being a pro-lynching racist to the best of my knowledge. Willie's one of the few country singers who the left can tolerate.

That’s too neutral. Gotta have the racial element to keep the blacks “on the plantation” of voting for libs and keeping conservatives out of power.

Maybe Keith wrote the word “black” in invisible ink, so that only liberal idiots like this blogger could read it?

Now I really have to see the movie!

I think the video reveal Keith portraying a law enforcement official and Nelson his father and a retired law enforcement official. But actually, it is.....a SONG...for entertainment....it is a makebelieve song......they are not really advocating,,,in real life....hanging people.
