The song "Pocatello" by James McMurty tells the story of a fleeting and unfaithful lover who the narrator meets in a truck stop parking lot in Pocatello. The woman, who hails from Randolph across the Wasatch Range, keeps talking to the point of driving everyone crazy. Despite this, the narrator falls for her and starts driving down the highway while screaming out her name. However, the narrator's grandma warns him about playing with fire and burning himself someday. Eventually, the narrator heads back to Denver, but he's burnt down to smoldering embers. Meanwhile, the woman is being managed by someone who used to manage a band that the narrator's never heard of. Overall, "Pocatello" is a cautionary tale about falling for someone who is unfaithful and leaving a trail of destruction behind them. The song highlights the dangers of being caught up in fleeting and meaningless relationships and the importance of being cautious with our hearts.
