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.
The live music video was directed by Michael Salomon and premiered on CMT on February 15, 2006. GAC cut the ending of the video out because of its suggestive language Keith tells the audience, referring to him shooting the video as part of the concert. During the bridge of the song, the lyrics pop up on screen, so the crowd can sing along.
