Music video

The music video premiered on CMT on September 24, 1992, and was directed by Senor McGuire (who had previously filmed the video for "Small Town Saturday Night") and filmed in Memphis, Tennessee, it starts with a couple dancing on a balcony, the camera zooms out to reveal Ketchum walking in an alleyway with a guitar. The camera pans to Beale Street, where a fictitious movie "Hecks Romance" is playing at a theater while a couple get into a convertible, photos are being taken, and Ketchum sings and walks with his guitar as the camera follows. The camera pans to a secret club, where the rest of the song is performed by Ketchum and a full band, with people dancing in front. The video ends with Ketchum and his guitar walking down a dimly lit street. The first shot of the video starting on the balcony and going all the way to the band performance is one continuous shot that lasts 2 full minutes.
