This is okay, but I was definitely expecting for either Whiskey Drink or Whose Rearview. The melody is average, although I do like the steel guitar bridge a lot. I was also hoping for Changing Bars, as that is my fav from the album. Regardless, can't wait to see Try That In A Small Town leaving the chart for good.

Sounds like a great song to drive to in the sun with the wind in your hair

Thats's aight it will take 5-6 months to go top 5 anyway lol

I like this song a lot actually. A tip of the hat to “mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys”, and for once in forever some new subject matter for Jason. Think it’ll be a big hit for him

Debuted at #57 this week on BB.

Enters the Mediabase Top 30 at #29 with the second largest bullet in the 21-30 range with 225 spins gained. Should be another easy Top 5 song for him. It is better than his last single, even if the line "Let everything in these county lines be his whole world" rubs me the wrong way as it feels very narrow minded since it isn't the worse thing for people to experience the outside world beyond just typical country schtick. 

[zdm1998]

Still haven’t listened to this, as I just really don’t have the energy to (lol.) But I heard “Whose Rearview” on Tik tok and actually enjoyed it. So I hope that becomes a single at some point.

[raylatch98]

Please chart and country radio gods, please have this song stall out as this hasn't been moving much since entering the Top 30 and today it lost it's bullet on Mediabase. This song is just not good, and I love how it's supposed to take inspiration from "Momma Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys" but where as that song tells parents to let their kids expand their worldview, this song closes it off and limits it. Not to mention abysmal lyrics, horrid production and Jason Aldean still sounding phoned in. 

The sooner this song is off the charts, the happier I will be.

I like this way more than I probably should. There’s just something about that in-your-face production and the chorus. It will be peaking at the perfect time, too, because this just screams late spring/early summer.

I don’t love this, but I like it way better than the last single. It’s up to #16 in week 20.
