Music video edit
A video, directed by David Hogan,[3] was produced for the song, depicting a middle-aged man (Conley) fantasizing about being in a relationship with an attractive woman; at the end of the video, he is visited by several of the descriptive women, most notably one who has shaved the sides of her head. The video was aired on The Nashville Network, CMT and Great American Country, and is available for viewing online via Vevo as of 2018.
A video was also filmed for the single's B-side "Crowd Around the Corner." The video, also directed by Hogan, depicts an elderly man sneaking out of a retirement home to enjoy one last glimpse of life before dying.
