Music video
The music video was directed by Roman White and premiered in mid-2007. It begins with many heavily intoxicated bar patrons getting arrested (including Blake) and getting into a fight. Blake starts the song in a police booking room, before the scene cuts to the bar patrons getting rowdy and drunk at a local bar (which prequels to the video's beginning). After many of the patrons flirt with some scantily-clad women trying to impress themselves, a fight breaks out, and many of the patrons are seen getting injured. Blake is seen performing the song both with his band to an audience, and with the patrons as they prepare for their mugshots. It was filmed in Watertown, Tennessee.
