Hello In There Lyrics

	Lyrics：John Prine Music：John Prine
	We had an apartment in the city,
	Me and Loretta liked living there.
	Well, it'd been years since the kids had grown,
	A life of their own left us alone.
	John and Linda live in Omaha,
	And Joe is somewhere on the road.
	We lost Davy in the Korean war,
	And I still don't know what for, don't matter anymore.
	Chorus:
	Ya' know that old trees just grow stronger,
	And old rivers grow wilder ev'ry day.
	Old people just grow lonesome
	Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello."
	Me and Loretta, we don't talk much more,
	She sits and stares through the back door screen.
	And all the news just repeats itself
	Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen.
	Someday I'll go and call up Rudy,
	We worked together at the factory.
	But what could I say if asks "What's new?"
	"Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do."
	Repeat Chorus:
	So if you're walking down the street sometime
	And spot some hollow ancient eyes,
	Please don't just pass 'em by and stare
	As if you didn't care, say, "Hello in there, hello."
