Try That in a Small Town

It's a new song from Jason Aldean (who sings it, but didn't write it). And it's generating some anger!
Country Music Television (CMT) says it will no longer air the music video "Try That In a Small Town" by Jason Aldean after critics of the video said it contained lyrics that glorified gun violence and conveyed traditionally racist ideas.
In a statement released alongside the video, Aldean said the song represents an "unspoken rule" for those raised in small towns: "We all have each other's backs and we look out for each other."

"We take care of our own."
Yes. We. Do.
Small towns are all about having each other's back.
Grace and Peace and Love to you all -
