Music video

Directed by Dani Jacobs,[citation needed] the video features the band's tour bus traveling on a highway at night before stopping at a gas station and diner called "Four Aces". They enter the diner and are persuaded by some girls who give them guitars (from the boss's office) to perform on stage. It attracts a crowd of people who were informed by one of the diner's bartenders played by Daphne Zuniga. An alternative version of the video features scenes from the third season of Dawson's Creek.
