Music video

The video was filmed in Portland in April 2000. Scenes of the band members riding horses were filmed on St. Johns Bridge in northwest Portland on April 9, and scenes of them tethering horses, hanging out in a club, and performing in a room with an American flag background were filmed on April 11. The bridge scenes had to be filmed very early on a Sunday morning so the bridge closure wouldn't affect traffic or fishermen.
