In the video, the real-life lovers become a couple after he is released from jail. However, after Keoghan returns to his criminal ways and is arrested again, Carpenter takes matters into her own hands.

She handcuffed him to a chair, taped his mouth shut and kissed him.Carpenter then left her love behind in an empty warehouse.In the new music video, Carpenter hits the road with Parton as they belt out the lyrics of the track.

Parton is later seen handing a shovel to her co-conspirator, who stands behind the truck. The police eventually catch up to the duo, chasing them as the camera then pans to a male who is handcuffed in the back of the truck with a sack on his head — sporting the same outfit as Keoghan did in the original video.The video, which was filmed in Nashville per a press release obtained by People, ends with Carpenter pulling over to the side of the road and shaking her head as the person in the back attempts to scream and bang on the truck.The song also had a lyric change, with Carpenter and Parton singing in turns, “I beg you, don’t embarrass me, like the others,” a switch-up from the original, “I beg you, don’t embarrass me, motherf – – ker.”When “Please Please Please”.
