Music video was filmed at a site known for a lynching… while showing BLM footage and talking about vigilante justice …

This song written by a guy not from a small town... What a cunt

You give him too much credit, he didn't write the song. In fact, he only wrote four songs from his ten albums, most recently in 2009. Like most of his country contemporaries he's not an artist, just a pandering performer.

And all this considering that in order to write a country song you just have to arrange the words country, road, mama, Virginia, truck, beer, boots, tan legs in a slightly different order.

His history class probably didn't even teach the American Revolution

Yeah, I came here to say that. American was built on violence.

Promoting violence is the most American thing.

You guys ran out of people to go to war with and it was like "ok, shirts and skins"

isn't the whole point of the song to insinuate small towns will kick your ass if they don't like you

The Cletuses have a new rally song. Fantastic. Surely no one will die as a result of this.

Hey it's the internet.

90's rap got banned for lyrics and it just made it bigger. All the OMG's on social media are free advertising. Good marketing strategy.
