Music video

The music video premiered in September 1992. Directed by Senor McGuire (who had previously filmed the video for "Small Town Saturday Night") and filmed in Memphis, TN, it starts with a couple dancing on a balcony, before revealing Ketchum performing in an alleyway with a guitar. The visual then moves to Beale Street, where a fictional movie titled "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. It then moves 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.
