Okay all I know about this song is that it seems that it's pro redneck and subtly racist with strong suggestions of "I'm a fraud of the big city because scary". Also I hear the Iowa governor quoted it.
Anything else I'm missing?
Jason's also from Macon, GA. Population 150,000. Small town country boy my arse. To quote Shooter Jennings:
I get home from a long day, put on the radio Lookin' for some country soul, but I don't find it, no It's a dirt road free for all, some old boys sayin' they're outlaws, They dress the part and they talk the talk You know they've been taught to walk the walk These boys think they're tough like they been robbin' banks Cause they name drop Johnny Cash and they name drop poor old Hank
lol, I'm from a town of 9000 people, and in my state that still wasn't a "small town". We had a pizza joint! People drove to our town because we had a pizza joint. Douche has no idea what it's like being in a small town.
You had a walmart? Damn look at you and your fancy high falootin' society over here.
And no, no one ever got in fights in my town, there was a lot of tough toxic masculinity brovado, but everyone was too afraid to get in fights. No the real thing is what I alluded to, small towns like to say they're nice but really everyone is gossiping behind everyone's back because there's nothing else to talk about.
