Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The highway's long, and the night feels wide,
Moon hangs low, like a lonesome guide.
Every mile's a memory, every sign a name,
But the distance grows, and I’m to blame.

[Chorus]
If I can't make it back to Pocatello,
Tell my baby hello, oh, tell her hello.
Hold her hand, let her know I tried,
But the road got rough, and the rivers ran high.
If I can't make it back to Pocatello,
Tell my baby hello.

[Verse 2]
The truck’s worn thin, and the fuel runs low,
The wind hums a tune only drifters know.
Her picture’s on the dash, a smile so kind,
Keeps me holding on, though I’m falling behind.

[Chorus]
If I can't make it back to Pocatello,
Tell my baby hello, oh, tell her hello.
Kiss her cheek, let her know I care,
But the mountains rose, and I got stuck somewhere.
If I can't make it back to Pocatello,
Tell my baby hello.

[Bridge]
I hear her voice in the whispering pines,
Feel her warmth in the Utah sunshine.
But if fate has other plans tonight,
Promise you’ll keep her heart light.

[Chorus]
If I can't make it back to Pocatello,
Tell my baby hello, oh, tell her hello.
Say I love her, more than she’ll ever know,
But the world’s a storm, and I got caught in the flow.
If I can't make it back to Pocatello,
Tell my baby hello.
