Content
Brad Paisley has stated that his wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley was the basis for this song and appears in the music video. Specifically the opening part, which reads as follows:
"Well I'll never forget the first time that I heard
that pretty mouth say that dirty word. And I can't even remember now, what she backed my truck into. But she covered her mouth and her face got red and she just looked so darn cute. That I couldn't even act like I was mad- Yeah I live for little moments like that."
The two events were taken right from the first time Brad heard her swear and how she started to blush when he found a dent in his truck.
Music video
The music video was directed by Jim Shea and Peter Tilden. It features different couples who explain how they started their relationships. The last couple is Paisley and his own wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, talking. His wife implies that song was written about her. Except for a few quick shots during the guitar solo, the video features Brad entirely with his signature cowboy hat off. It was released in early 2004.
