Kip Moore wants you to enjoy your time off whether you love or loathe your job. The country newcomer makes the best of his paycheck even though it's his last with cold beer, hot women and some great country music in his brand-new clip for the blue collar-inspired song, "Beer Money," the third single from Moore's acclaimed debut album, "Up All Night," which the singer takes aim at the heart of country America with a unique voice and the resolve to record only what he feels.
Moore grew up in the small town of Tifton, Georgia where he claims there was little for the locals to do apart from having a few cold beers on the weekend. This song was born out of a conversation about the mundane life of someone living in a small town. "It's an easy-going song for people who are sitting in that town with nothing to do," he said. "That is the town that I grew up in. There was nothing to do, nothing to choose from, and a lot of times you felt like banging your fist against the wall, and the only release that you had was the weekend to go have a good time with your friends and your girlfriend, and you wanted to go and have some beers. That is what the song is. It's just a feel-good release of that small town America life and what it's like growing up."
"Beer Money" finds the singer offering to buy some beer for a downcast girl so she can drink those troubles away. It extends the 'spending time with the one you love by your side' theme and is another strong mood-setting, sing-a-long ready country/rocker. What takes this song past ordinary is Moore's grave vocals and story-telling ability. It's becoming cliche to compare a singer to Bruce Springsteen, but sonically the 32-year-old comes closer than anyone in Nashville. He's not tackling social issues like the Boss, but his material is honest and straightforward.
The clip follows Moore and his bandmates as they stock up for a backyard party after getting chewed out by his boss about his poor performance as a mechanic. He takes his paycheck and leaves his frustrations behind, cashing it in for some "beer money." His girl waits down the street at the local diner, but things get a whole lot better quick, as she is swept away by the singer. The two take a little drive to head to an old barn on the outskirts of town, where he starts unloading his gear with the boys to 'raise a little hell' with a rocking performance and plenty of beer money to go around.
