01Music video
The music video was directed by Steven Goldmann. The video starts out with a woman running out of the house, then we see the duo playing while spinning around the house, and showing everything turning into rot, and clocks with their hands turning quickly. At the end, the duo fades away into dust particles, and the house appears to have rotted out, and the pages on the calendar that was flipping throughout the video are all gone.
02Cover versions
Country music singer Jason Aldean covered the song from The Last Rodeo Tour.
