Synopsis
Toby Keith sits at a bar, enjoying a quiet drink, when flirtatious twin sisters Bobbie Jo and Betty Lou invite him along for a "rodeo." Before he can follow them, his friend Dave stirs up trouble with a pair of rednecks and a large bouncer. Keith reluctantly joins the fight, only to suffer a broken nose and end up in an ambulance. The video turns the song's self-deprecating look at aging into a slapstick barroom adventure.
