Jason Aldean - Try That In A Small Town Lyrics
Official




Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Car jack an old lady at a red light
Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
You think it's cool, well, act a fool if you like
Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
Stomp on the flag and light it up
Yeah, you think you're tough

Well, try that in a small town
See how far you 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 you 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 you 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)

Ooh, try that in a small town

Jason Aldean - Try That In A Small Town Video
(Show video at the top of the page)


• "Try That in a Small Town" is a song written by Kelley Lovelace, Neil Thrasher, Tully Kennedy, and Kurt Allison, and recorded by American country music singer Jason Aldean.

• "Try That in a Small Town" contrasts rural and urban lifestyles. It asserts that behavior such as flag burning or protests and attacks toward police officers will face stronger consequences in a rural setting than an urban one: "try that in a small town, see how far ya make it down the road". In the second verse, Aldean sings about gun rights and not wanting his own to be confiscated.

• The song was the subject of widespread controversy and media attention following the release of its music video in July 2023. Due to the extensive media coverage, the song garnered significant public interest and a surge in popularity.

• The song debuted at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, Aldean's highest-peaking effort on that chart to date, and in late July experienced the biggest sales week for a country song in over 10 years.
