Music video[]

The music video was directed by Trey Fanjoy. A young man trades his old truck for a car with speed as his truck just brings back memories of his ex-lover, played by actress, Marisa Petroro. He buys the car, then he drives the car really fast, but as he keeps seeing the memory of his ex-lover on the road, he jumps out of the car, and then he heads out running into the field. The duo is performing the song in the middle of a two-lane road at a night time setting.

A sign at the car dealership displays a phone number with the area code 661, suggesting that the video takes place in or near Bakersfield, California. ^[1]
