Jason Aldean is responding to criticism over his song, «Try That in a Small Town,» after some found the lyrics to be pro-gun and the imagery in the music video to be offensive. A portion of the lyrics in the track includes, «Got a gun that my granddad gave me / They say one day they're gonna round up / Well, that s**t might fly in the city, good luck / Try that in a small town / See how far ya make it down the road / 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.»  The music video, which was released four days ago, was filmed in front of the massive American flag displayed on the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee — the site of the 1927 lynching of Henry Choate. The music video is interlaced with clips of protestors vandalizing cities in the wake of police brutality and racial unrest during the height of the pandemic. Aldean also sings that «good ol' boys, raised up right,» taking matters into their own hands by «taking care of our own.»The country singer took to social media on Tuesday, saying, «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.
