Jon Pardi released a new video for his current single, “Ain’t Always the Cowboy.” Penned by Brandon Kinney and Josh Thompson, “Ain’t Always the Cowboy” is featured on Jon’s 2019 album, Heartache Medication.

Directed by Carlos Ruiz, the video highlights the California native’s love of the scenic beauty of the West, as well as the cowboy—actually, cowgirl—way. The new video features a barrel racing cowgirl, who, as Jon sings, is “Searchin’ for somethin’ / Leavin’ love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet / It ain’t always the cowboy that rides away.”

“I feel like the topic of the song hasn’t been written about in this way, and I love songs that approach things differently and offer fresh perspectives,” said Jon.
