"Grandpappy told my pappy back in my day, son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he'd done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the street
For all the people to see"
Ok well, it's obvious these lyrics involve lynching. People are calling him pro-lynching, which I don't really agree with.
He's not saying he wants to lynch people, he's saying that there was a greater sense of justice in his grandfathers days. But maybe what Keith doesn't realize is the lynchings of his grandfather's days involved the Jim Crowe laws, not just objective laws. I think this was just a bad idea from the get go; a producer should have stopped him sooner.
