one exit off the highway you're in a small town people will look at you funny if you black or brown the few that look like you will look at you funny too that's when you know you're in a small town people in small towns know everyone in town you stand out like black on white if you new in town get your gas and your snacks and turn it around don't look for lodging you don't want to stay the night it's best to leave while the lights are still on some think it's racist cause it's country some say it's not then hum along it's a big difference between cold and warm like cold and hot if you ever found yourself in a small town you'll understand the plot and plan of a group of people planning to carry out an action to do something illegal to a certain race of people like the evil done to Till it's a flip side to a coin heads or tails two sides to a track that must be clearly understood if you trying to get back from the other side in one piece it's best to haul your a** before Karen calls the police some people are racist that ain't no lie some are filled with hatred it's in their blood some of em don't know diddly squat they just go with the matrix don't be a dummy know your surroundings try that in a small town you're in for a pounding the song is a warning not offensive in the least if you get offended then you're not listening or getting the unsung message it implies we shouldn't be so sensitive we need to open our eyes knowing the difference is how our ancestors survived some of us don't even like country music it's not our genre is it well I must admit Tennessee Whiskey is dope but I get uncomfortable when I hear get a rope I don't know why we view and listen to all the drama it's all propaganda in the first place we should know by heart the song of our race it's controversy cause it's meant to be and who can deny it's damn good marketing some stuff ain't worth the time of day nor waste of energy it pays to know your true enemy the pendulum swings both ways try that in the hood and you get what you bargain for and for all it's worth some stuff ain't worth arguing about what do we expect a good ole country boy to sing about "his dog died his wife left him his pickup truck broke down" give the man a break let him sing his song he's just trying to tell us folks what happens in a small town if we mess around
