Discover the story of the song > Moonshiners – Goodnight, Texas

The protagonist recalls a time when he was fighting and the saw mill burned down. He realizes that the government and the sheriff can't be trusted and they can see through people's lies. He wonders where hound dogs eat when people are weak, where the smoke from his lungs goes when he exhales, and what cockroaches do when no one is around. He compares their way of life to moonshiners, who live partially underground. In the end, he reveals that he destroyed something to show that he has his own control and power.
