That’s what Wikipedia says.
“In the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s Mingus, known as a ‘wet’
town, had a thriving set of liquor stores and bars patronized by those in ‘dry’
areas in Palo Pinto County and other area counties. This era in Mingus history
was memorialized in a comedic country song by John Clay and the Lost Austin
Band called ‘Road to Mingus.’ The lyrics tell of the deaths of three young
men from Strawn, Texas who travel to Mingus for
beer, and, coming home in their '39 Ford, try to beat the Katy at a crossing and die when they
are struck by the ‘reckless railroad train.’
“Area residents blamed aggressive law enforcement for the
demise of the stores and bars. By the 2000s the Cossacks Motorcycle Club
patronized the remaining commercial establishments in the town.”

the Cossacks and a bit on the Bandido shootout in Waco in 2015:
