Music video
The music video for Tritt's version was directed by Michael Merriman. The video features a young male who leaves his father's farm in search of a life in the big city. The young male eventually has his guitar and wallet, and everything but his father's gold watch stolen. He robs food from a store because he has no money, but he is caught and arrested. The young male is eventually revealed to be Tritt when he returns to his father's home with the gold watch.
