The accompanying music video features shots of Price performing at a dive bar while the audience throws bottles, followed by scenes of her riding through town on a four-wheeler and getting it washed at a car wash. The imagery in the video captures the resilience and determination in the face of adversity, echoing the song’s message of perseverance and resilience.
