Country Music Television yanked the video without comment on Monday, prompting Aldean to lash out on Twitter, writing,"There is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it – and there isn’t a single video clip that isn’t real news footage – and while I can try and respect others to have their own interpretation of a song with music – this one goes too far.
Aldean defended his song in a lengthy Twitter post Tuesday afternoon, saying it"refers to the feeling of a community that I had growing up, where we took care of our neighbors, regardless of differences of background or belief." The lyrics of the song juxtapose big-city crime with small-town values:"Cuss out a cop, spit in his face / Stomp on the flag and light it up / Yeah, ya think you're tough," Aldean sings in the song."Well, try that in a small town / See how far ya make it down the road / Around here, we take care of our own / You cross that line, it won't take long."
