Country music entertainer Jason Aldean's episode of the new 'BREAKING BIG' documentary series is a must-watch for any country music fan!

Country music superstar Jason Aldean‘s ascension to the top of the country music industry wasn’t as simple as one may think. The Georgia native recently detailed his path through PBS/OZY Media’s new primetime documentary series BREAKING BIG. During the half-hour special, the star chatted with host Carlos Watson about his upbringing in Macon and the struggles he faced early in his career.

Enjoy the full interview with Jason and those who were instrumental in launching his career below!

Isn’t that just wild when you think that Jason almost packed up at left Nashville for a factory job at home? Thank goodness he played that last showcase and finally connected with the right person at Broken Row Records.

In April 2005, the singer-songwriter’s first single “Hicktown” was released and the rest is really history. So far, Aldean has dropped eight studio albums, sold more than 15 million records worldwide, and racked up awards from the GRAMMYs, ACMs, CMAs, BBMAs, People’s Choice Awards, and more.

Enjoy the song that helped put the star on the map below!

“Hicktown” Lyrics

Little Jimmy Jackson is jackin’ up his Bronco
He’s gonna lay a little rubber later on at the truck pull
All the girls are getting’ pretty sprayin’ on the White Rain
Yeah they’re gonna get a rowdy tonight down at the football game
Yeah
We let it rip when we got the money
Let it roll if we got the gas
It gets wild yeah but that’s the way we get down
In a Hicktown
Well you can see the neighbors butt crack nailing on his shingles
And his woman’s’ smokin’ Pall Mall’s watchin’ Laura Ingles
And Granny’s getting’ lit she’s headin’ out to bingo
Yeah my buddies and me are goin’ muddin’ down on Blue Hole Road
You know You know
We let it rip when we got the money
Let it roll if we got the gas
It gets wild yeah but that’s the way we get down
In a Hicktown
We hear folks in the city party in Martini Bars
And they like to show off in their fancy foreign cars
Out here in the boondocks we buy beer at Amoco
And crank our Kraco speakers with that country radio
We let it rip when we got the money
Let it roll if we got the gas
It gets wild yeah but that’s the way we get down
Oh Oh We let it rip when we got the money
Let it roll if we got the gas
Its buck wild yeah but that’s the way we get down
In a Hicktown
In a Hicktown
It’s the way we get down
In a Hicktown
Yeah in a Hicktown
Oh we ain’t finished yet
We got you’re country boys and you’re redneck girls
It’s the party heard round the world
Right here in Hicktown
Yeah In Hicktown
The whole town’s gettin’ down
We let it rip when we got the money
Let it roll if we got the gas
It gets wild yeah but that’s the way we get down
In a Hicktown
