The band is named after an unincorporated Texas community, with a population of 18. Goodbye, Texas is the as-you-drive midpoint between the origins of the band’s songwriters Avi Vinocur (formerly of The Stone Foxes) of San Francisco and Patrick Dyer Wolf of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The other members are bassist Scott Griffin Padden and drummers Alex Nash and Kyle Caprista.
“Keep Movin’” was motivated by deaths of beloved family members and by reflections on a turbulent time in American and human history. The track is strong throughout, then turns into a harmonization gem starting at 2:45.

Lyrics of “Keep Movin'” by Goodnight, Texas
I find myself on a crowded train
Goin' anywhere that I can aim
But the wheels wont roll, coal won't burn
The conductor never took the time to learn
I gotta keep movin'
I jump the window into a truck
Speeding by me it's just my luck and the
Driver skids, says "What the fuck?"
And yet again I find that I am stuck
But I gotta keep movin'
Keep movin'
I flee through desert toward a car
The headlights flicker at me like a star
The lights turn away like the setting sun
I guess I've no choice but to run
I gotta keep movin'
I gotta keep movin'
Well I ran and ran until I couldn't take no more
Collapsed exhausted on a blue ocean shore and I
Started riptiding to the ocean floor
Until I found myself at death's door
My boat is coming at any minute and I just know I'm gonna sail off in it
My boat is coming at any minute and I just know I'm gonna sail off in it
I just know I'm gonna sail off in it
Come on! I just know I'm gonna sail off in it!
I gotta keep movin'
Keep movin'
Keep movin'
I gotta keep movin'
I gotta keep movin'
I gotta keep movin'
