Music video
The music video was directed by Trey Fanjoy and premiered in September 2016. The video begins surveying a wrecked car which Lambert eventually stumbles out of. She is then shown walking down a country road away from the accident and eventually comes to a small town where she tops in a bar for a drink. In the end of the video, she is seen standing at a crossroad when a car (similar to the one she was in at the start of the video) pulls up without a driver, which she gets into the backseat of before it drives away.[5]
