I remember hearing this song sung by Reba McEntire a lot on the Country Radio Station back when my older son was small. It is about police corruption in a small Southern town.
Have you heard it? If so, do you like it?

Yes I love that song but the other day I was watching Mama's family and found our that she was the original singer.

@LeaPea2417 I think it sounds great but I'm a Reba fan and I think she added more soul to it.

Yes I remember that one. I like when a song tells a story. Long time ago but I think I remember listening on the car radio but not in motion, sitting still and listening.

It is good when they tell a story.

I also recall the Vicki Lawrence version of this song. I always liked it.

Love the original by Vicki Lawrence (who was married to the song’s writer, Bobby Russell, when it was a hit). Reba, not so much. Then again, I’m not a Reba McEntire fan, save for the song “How Blue.”

Haven't heard this song in a long time. I was not a big fan of it but it is alright.
