Music video

The music video was directed by Kristin Barlowe and premiered on April 6, 2006. It features Anderson performing the song with an old-fashioned microphone in a junkyard (he is seen in some scenes wearing a blue bandana instead of cowboy hat), on the interior of a fence, and in a warehouse. He is also seen making out with his lover in a convertible in the rain with the top down. It is informed that she is also a recording artist, and after her time in the studio, he picks her up in the convertible and they ride off together (after she passes another young couple who kiss).
