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

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.

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"

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

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

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

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

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.
