"Try That In A Small Town" lyrics

"Try That In A Small Town"

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
'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

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
'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

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)
'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
(Try that in a small town)
Mmm, try that in a small town

"Try That In A Small Town" (released on the 19th of May, 2023) received much criticism after its music video was published on the 21st of July, 2023. The video was filmed at the Maury County Courthouse (building in Columbia, Tennessee) where Henry Choate (a black teenager) was lynched and hung in 1927. The video also contains footage from protests, looting and civil unrest. As a result of the controversy, Country Music Television removed the video from its broadcast. Aldean replied on Twitter, "There is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it. '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."
