Riley Green has unveiled the official music video for his latest single, “Think As You Drunk,” giving fans a lighthearted visual that perfectly matches the song’s playful, barroom energy. Released ahead of his upcoming album That’s Just Me, the video embraces classic country humor while paying tribute to one of the genre’s most beloved drinking songs.
Set for release on September 18, That’s Just Me will be Green’s fourth studio album and feature 19 tracks, including the previously released “My Way.” “Think As You Drunk” offers a fun preview of the record, capturing the familiar country storytelling style that has become one of Green’s trademarks.
The song follows the perspective of a bar regular who insists they are perfectly fine despite clear signs that they have had one drink too many. Built around witty lyrics and an easygoing country groove, the track recalls the carefree drinking anthems that were especially popular during the early 2000s. Rather than taking itself seriously, the song leans into exaggerated situations and humorous observations that many country fans will recognize.
One of the song’s standout moments comes near the end, when it incorporates a sample from Toby Keith’s 2005 hit “Good As I Once Was.” The original song became one of Keith’s signature recordings by humorously acknowledging that age may slow someone down, even if they refuse to admit it. Its clever lyrics and memorable chorus helped make it a country radio favorite, and it remains one of Keith’s best-known recordings.
Green has shared that he played the unfinished version of “Think As You Drunk” for Toby Keith’s manager and family, who viewed the reference as a respectful tribute rather than a simple sample. Their support ultimately led to the inclusion of Keith’s vocal, creating a connection between the new song and one of country music’s modern classics. Instead of overshadowing Green’s performance, the sample serves as a nostalgic nod that fits naturally with the song’s overall theme.
The newly released music video expands on the track’s comedic spirit. Filmed at Riley Green’s Duck Blind bar in Nashville, Tennessee, it opens with Green greeting customers like a familiar local before the evening quickly spirals into increasingly absurd situations.
As the night progresses, reality becomes intentionally distorted. In one of the video’s funniest moments, Green attempts to order another drink from Carl, the Instagram-famous corgi, who appears behind the bar. Other scenes show him misplacing his keys, losing a boot, trying to dance, and eventually ending up on the floor after a long night out. The exaggerated storyline mirrors the lyrics without becoming overly dramatic, keeping the focus on comedy rather than excess.
The video also includes a cameo from social media personality Bryana Ferringer, adding another familiar face for fans. While her appearance is brief, it contributes to the relaxed, party atmosphere that runs throughout the video.
With “Think As You Drunk,” Riley Green delivers exactly what the title promises—a humorous country song supported by an equally entertaining music video. Combined with its respectful tribute to Toby Keith and its classic country storytelling, the release offers another glimpse of the traditional influences Green continues to bring to modern country music.
