Jason Aldean’s ‘Try That In A Small Town’ Shoots To Number One Amid Backlash

Jason Aldean’s new music video for his song “Try That In A Small Town,” with anti-riot lyrics that slam leftist policies, has skyrocketed to the number one spot on the iTunes chart amid backlash against the singer.

The 46-year-old country singer’s song hit the airwaves in May, but it wasn’t until he released a video for it on July 14 that the song started generating headlines claiming it was “racist,” “pro-lynching,” and more. Following the backlash, Country Music Television (CMT) pulled the singer’s music video and has yet to respond as to why. Aldean has hit back against the criticism, calling it “meritless” and “dangerous.”

WOKE INDIANA JONES IS TANKING, SOUND OF FREEDOM IS HUGE, DISNEYWORLD IS DESERTED, AND: Jason Aldean’s ‘Try That In A Small Town’ Shoots To Number One Amid Backlash.

The “backlash” is from butthurt lefties who don’t want to be reminded that they’re a neurotic minority whose days of bullying the rest of the country are coming to an end.

You just kinda have to ask yourself, who would actually be opposed to lyrics like these?

This song isn’t saying that it would target people from outside of a small town who enter it with ill will. It’s not identifying class or race. It could as easily be talking about correcting a local youth who is acting up in bad faith in a small town.

So why would it be wrong to respect the elderly, respect the police or to not commit crimes of violence and theft?

Who actually supports that? Who is doing the loud talking here?

That’s what I would ask.

Just like, I hope there are people out there with the resources doing a drill down on the motives for people who are criticizing a movie about human trafficking.

My interpretation ….. Try that in a small town and The Sound of Freedom being at #1 sends a message imho of We Are Prepared to Come After You

The video highlights leftists violence and values it as undesirable.

This outstanding song is proof that there is still hope for Country music. I’m praying that Toby Keith also gets well very soon and can get back in the fight. The worm is turning and the “woke jokes” are getting a good dose of good old AMERICAN reality.

Can't wait. Roll the guillotines out into the streets and start dispensing justice to the anti Christs and America haters.

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
