Music video

The video for this song was directed by Nancy Bardawil, and was filmed in a rural area of Gatlinburg, TN. It features Reba performing the song against a mountain backdrop, and rodeo performers showing off rope and horse tricks. Reba is also seen singing and dancing on a wood dance floor with a cactus prop, accompanied by 4 backup dancers. These are the same dancers who starred on Broadway with Reba in "Annie Get Your Gun." Reba considers this as one of her favorite videos, and called it "a total blast" to make.
