Music video
The live music video was directed by Michael Salomon and premiered on CMT on February 15, 2006. GAC cut the ending of the video out because of its suggestive language Keith tells the audience, referring to him shooting the video as part of the concert. During the bridge of the song, the lyrics pop up on screen, so the crowd can sing along. {{citation needed|date=December 2013}} It is a live performance clip that was filmed at a concert in Portland, Oregon at the Rose Garden Arena now named Moda Center.
