Content

This song is a typical working man's anthem in which two workers who are depressed by their mundane jobs celebrate on Friday by drinking.

Music video

The live music video was directed by Michael Salomon and premiered on February 15, 2006 on CMT. GAC cut the ending of the video out, because of its suggestive language (Keith tells the audience "Your ass is gonna be on television!" referring to him shooting the video as part of the concert.) During the bridge of the song, the lyrics pop up on screen so fans can sing along. [citation needed] It is a live performance clip that was filmed at a concert in Portland, Oregon at the Rose Garden Arena now named Moda Center.
