Quote:Country music star Jason Aldean dropped a song in May, but it seems like a memo went out among the liberal press because they’re suddenly freaking out that it slams woke blue violent cities and the 2020 George Floyd riots while daring to honor gun ownership and small-town values. Ooh, can’t do that.

Here are the lyrics for the first two verses (all caps are his from his YouTube posting. Read the rest there):

SUCKER PUNCH SOMEBODY ON A SIDEWALK
CAR JACK 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
‘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

Watch:

Aldean also posted the song to Instagram and wrote this caption:

When u grow up in a small town, it’s that unspoken rule of “we all have each other’s backs and we look out for each other.” It feels like somewhere along the way, that sense of community and respect has gotten lost. Deep down we are all ready to get back to that. I hope my new music video helps y’all know that u are not alone in feeling that way. Go check it out!

Predictably, the left has gone nuts, accusing Aldean of racism and any other of the usual buzzwords they can come up with. Here are just a few recent headlines:

Daily Beast: Jason Aldean’s ‘Try That in a Small Town’ Criticized for Racist, Pro-Gun Lyrics
Newsweek: Jason Aldean’s New Song Sparks Outrage Over Guns—’Very Scary Lyrics’
US Magazine: Jason Aldean Faces Backlash for Pro-Gun Lyrics in New Song ‘Try That in a Small Town’
Entertainment Weekly: Jason Aldean’s ‘Try That in a Small Town’ Sparks Criticism Over Inflammatory Images and Pro-Gun Lyrics

Poor snowflake reviewers, they really need a chai latte and a therapy session. Aldean issued a lengthy response to critics Tuesday afternoon:

It’s long, but I think it’s worth including every word here:

In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous. There is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it- and there isn’t a single video clip that isn’t real news footage -and while I can try and respect others to have their own interpretation of a song with music- this one goes too far.

As so many pointed out, I was present at Route 91-where so many lost their lives- and our community recently suffered another heartbreaking tragedy. NO ONE, including me, wants to continue to see senseless headlines or families ripped apart.

Try That In A Small Town, for me, refers to the feeling of a community that I had growing up, where we took care of our neighbors, regardless of differences of background or belief. Because they were our neighbors, and that was above any differences. My political views have never been something I’ve hidden from, and I know that a lot of us in this Country don’t agree on how we get back to a sense of normalcy where we go at least a day without a headline that keeps us up at night. But the desire for it to- that’s what this song is about.

Aldean was onstage at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in 2017 in Las Vegas when a deranged shooter killed 58 concertgoers and injured nearly 500 others.

These days, the Left considers virtually everything they don’t like to be racist or related to White Supremacy. In my view, this rocking song is pointing out that the lawlessness happening in our big cities is simply unacceptable and un-American, and owning a firearm is a First Amendment right. And guess what, folks—he’s allowed to like small-town living; it isn’t a crime.

I’ll just say it: I love this song, not only the message but the blazing guitars. You know what you can do with it, critics.

Good stuff. I like Aldean.

Everything they don’t like is racist.

They are coming after him for “promoting gun violence” but choose to ignore the last 30 years of rap music. Perfectly sums up our media in a nutshell.

This. Find us a rap song that isn't about f'ing or fighting or shooting, or more usually all three. We mostly don't realize without reading the lyrics since you can't really understand what they're saying over the THUMP THUMP THUMP.

Stupid liberals don't even realize they are giving Aldean and this particular song FAR MORE press than if they hadn't chosen to be "offended". I had no idea this song existed until this faux outrage. Not a fan of current country music, but good for Aldean. I hope he rides this nonsense all the way to the bank.

Aldean needs to just go on and declare himself a rocker. I've never cared for his music because it is decidedly not country. I had no clue this was even a song until I read it here, it's not something I'd stop on when channel surfing BUT if it makes one liberal loon lose its shite then I'm all for it. He shouldn't have explained anything though. NEVER apologize to the filth who created the very dynamics his song is about being against.

What the antifa tards should do is make it their next Tik Tok challenge. Go try all your liberal BS in small towns across the country and post the videos.


Do it!!

Aldean and a lot of his peers are more closely related to skynyrd type music imho. Southern just not country. I like it, but I don't pretend it's country. Johnny Cash ain't walking out on that stage.

CMT PULLS Jason Aldean's BLM-Antifa song after left-wing outrage

fck cmt

Aldean about to make even more money.

Add anything Paramount owns to the Bud Light list.

I'll listen to it on repeat if it ruffles the panties of the left.

But these wokists mean business. They were all going to quit watching cmt and listening to anything by Aldean if they didn’t get their way on this. Just think of the impact that would have had on the bottom line

Probably about the same dollar value and the Bud Light swigging pedo crowd spends on Bud Light.

Every Rap Song Ever: "MuhFugga! MuhFugga! muh glock fug da poe-leece!"

Aldean: "Try that in a small town."

MSM: "OMG it's just like the KKK and Hitler"

Who watches CMT anyway? I'm a country music fan and I don't, ever. WTF is on it anyway. I presume it's much like MTV and mostly reality shows. F them running.

Libs on the side of criminals, lawlessness & riots. Just one more reason to hate the filthy scum left.

I hear they are making Shania change her song to “Man, I Feel Like a Person Who Bleeds” and Tammy Wynette to to “Stand by Your Non Menstruating Partner.”

Already approved for the new rotation is “Science Take the Wheel” and “All My Ex’s Change Their Sexes”

The new liberal theme song on CMT is set to be “I Like it, I Love it, I want some mo Gub’ment”

It’s getting real now…

Leave that nigga with a toe tag, nigga
Barrel so long, you can pole dance, nigga
Run up in ya house, where the dope at nigga?
Murder she wrote on a notepad, nigga
Light that nigga up, smoke that nigga
Stomp that nigga, roast that nigga
I walk around with this shotgun
And this ***** bigger than me, nigga

Don't open up yo' fuckin' mouth
'Cause I'll pull the trigger like teeth, nigga
Shoot 'em up, then leave, nigga
I smell summer's eve, nigga
We shoot first, it's better
To give than receive, nigga

Keep that hoe **** over there
And we don't shoot in the air
I can't **** with these niggas, man, these niggas gummy bears
Hair trigger on the gun, I pull that ************ hair

Don't buck, nigga, don't stunt, nigga

Now **** with me, get ****** over
Emergency room, rushed over
Hollow tips, in the clip
My gun loaded, yours sober
I pull yo' card like a lawn mower
Fall back or I'm goin' forward

I send you back to the drawin' board, Lil Tunechi

See me walking with a limp, that's my gun walk

See me walking with a limp, that's my gun walk
That's my gun walk, nigga, that's my gun walk

Walkin' round this ************ limpin'
'Cause the nose on the pistol 'bout as long as Scotty Pippen's
On the molly and I'm twisted, throw your body with the fishes
Double back around that corner and I'm bodying the witness

Uh, real niggas don't talk much, do drive by's and walk ups
Lame rappers that talk tough get a broke jaw, star struck
I don't **** with the lame niggas, I got good aim nigga
Pop a pill, pop you, my nick name is Pain Killer

I'm still that same nigga, Eastside I rep that
***** niggas better get right or where I see you, you get left at
Use the rifle as my crutch, that's my gun walk
Or we can hold a conversation, let the guns talk
Gudda!

I don't do no arguin', I let the gun talk
And there's no talkin' back when it go off

That's my gun walk, nigga, that's my gun walk
