This song is all about transporting listeners and viewers back to their favorite old-school honky tonk bar. From playing pool under the neon beer signs, colorful string lights hanging from the ceiling and vintage posters on the wall, we wanted viewers to imagine themselves there. My videographer, Dusty Barker, does a phenomenal job of storytelling and he captured exactly what I was looking for," Jillian told All Country News.
