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." |
