The song is very simple. It addresses FAFO and nothing more.

Typical "crying in your beer" country song - just needs the dog to run away, pickup to crap out and a cheating wife. Appreciate the sentiment but there are 200 people that could have made the song within 25 miles of me.
I miss the old days of vinyl records you could play backwards and the dog comes home, the truck starts up and the wife stays loyal. And there is plenty of crime in small towns....I live in one. |

Here's the racist lyrics: 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 |

Here is where I think these artists go wrong. Don't "defend" it.
All he had to say was "If you don't like it, don't listen to it" and leave it at that. He's not forcing kids to hear it at school. He's not telling kids to listen to it, but don't tell their parents. He's not making it a requirement to get hired for a job. He's not having a parade or a national FAFO month. |

Modern country and 80s hard rock sound a lot alike…I could hear Skid Row doing that song.

My parents grew up in the South Bronx in the 20's and 30's. They told stores of how the "Neighborhood" reacted to ferals. The "Small town" is a shared value in a community and a refusal to allow others to trample those values.
What we have today is large population areas lead by people whose political philosophy has destroyed those community value and replaced them with a dependence on the central committees |

Streisand Effect: Had the leftists, and leftist controlled media like CMT not pretended to have the vapors about an otherwise forgettable song, it wouldn't be a number one hit, and we wouldn't be here talking about it. It would just be another country-lite song that was forgotten quickly.
The left trying to censor it had the opposite effect. There's some irony there, I think. |
