In the first chorus he's "walking in the moonlight", and says "that's a pair of taillights I may never see again". In the second chorus he's "''talking'' in the moonlight", thinking over the situation. The last chorus is his plan for when he finds her and gets the truck back: ''she'll'' be walking in the moonlight, and "that's a pair of taillights she ''won't'' ever see again."

Black made waves in 1989 with his debut single "A Better Man", which made him the first male country artist in 15 years to send a debut single to number one. The next three singles from his debut album ''Killin' Time'' also went the distance, and he only missed the top 10 once between then and late 1998. Although his commercial success dwindled in the 2000s, leading to a departure from RCA, he has continued to record. Between 2004 and 2008, he owned the Equity Music Group label, which released albums by him, Music/LittleBigTown, Carolina Rain, Laura Bryna, Kevin Fowler, and Carolyn Dawn Johnson.
