Content

In this slow-tempoed tune, the narrator describes things he does for his lover (e.g., bringing home wildflowers, going to church with her after leaving early from Saturday nights out with his buddies, and apologizing when he is wrong in an argument) out of his own choice, rather than because she tells him to do so.

Music video

The music video was directed by Deb Haus and Jerad Sloan. It premiered on CMT on October 29, 2005, and peaked at #5 on CMT's Top 20 Countdown in March of 2006. It was shot over 2 days, in Iceland.
