This is what "try that in a small town" really means.

I lived in a very rural area for 20 years. Small town outside of a small town outside of Vegas. There were a lot of things I loved about it. But basically, one of the things I learned early on was the face people presented was usually very different from what reality was. Try that in a small town? Well, since my experience was that screwing your neighbor (in every sense of the word), and cooking meth were OK, not sure if Jason Aldean had any idea of what small towns are capable of tolerating.
