Music video



This was his second music video and was directed by Bill Young, and premiered in July 1989. It features Black singing the song at a bar named My Place (the actual name of the bar at the time of filming). He addresses a woman named Minnie in the opening (the name of the original owner of My Place). My Place located in Sealy, TX is now known as Saddleback Saloon. He was wearing a T-shirt that has Don't Mess with Texas written on it, and features him in another singing the song wearing a striped shirt. He puts the guitar down, and the video ends.

At 2:50 into, Clint's brother Brian Black makes a cameo dancing on the dance floor in front of Clint Black (in which viewers confused the guy on the dance floor as George Strait). Also making a cameo appearance in the video as an older Clint is Clint's brother Kevin Black.
