“Didn’t wake up, dead or in jail / Some out of town boys been given a cell / I’ve got some bad news, woke up missing you / My friends are all degenerates but they’re all I got,” Bryan sings.

“The generational story of dropping the plot / I heard the cops came, cocky motherf***ers ain’t they? / And ICE is gonna come bust down your door / Try to build a house, no bills no more, well I got a telephone / Kids are all scared and all alone,” he continues.

“The Boss stopped bumping, the rock stopped rolling / The middle fingers rising and it won’t stop showing / Got some bad news / The fading of the red, white and blue.”

The Grammy-winning artist’s song has struck a nerve with conservatives, who are outraged by his condemnation of ICE agents deployed under the Trump administration to deport undocumented immigrants.

The title is apparently "The Fading of the Red White and Blue."

1. Art with integrity cant help but reveal truth.

2. Country music at a crossroads?

Cheers to the true rebels of the genre who don't go along to get along with the confederate flag wavers and slur slingers.

I was happy to see Garth and Trisha pay tribute to President Carter at his funeral.

And cheers to the women of Country who call out the racist men in the industry. In troubled times it's good to see some ally-ship in all corners.

3. He just played the largest ticketed show in town

I didn’t go, kid did and most friends but didn’t know really who he was at all. Knew John Mayer, and Ryan Bingham, but not headliner or another country group. This makes me happy. He brought over 100k to the show, and probably 125-150 to town. I went kayaking.

4. Frankly Johnny Cash would be proud of that song.

Back when country songs didn't have nice things to say about the police or sheriffs.

6. So would Kris, I think.

5. LOL! The Fox News story on this had a short intro about the song, followed by many more paragraphs

trashing the singer for everything negative they could think to bring up, including his "scolding" someone in a concert audience for throwing something onto the stage - what a horrible thing for a musucian to do!
