: Parts of the video were filmed on Myles' family ranch in Buckhorn, Ontario , featuring her singing on a rustic cabin porch to evoke the "slow southern style" mentioned in the lyrics.

: The video intercuts these quiet, rural scenes with dynamic footage of Myles performing live with her band in a Kingston, Ontario bar , showcasing the blues-rock energy that earned her the 1991 Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.

A useful feature of the official video is that it provides a visual connection to the song's subject: Elvis Presley .
