Hello In There
View ArtistLyrics
[Verse] We had an apartment in the city Me and Loretta liked living there It's 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 out on the road We lost Davy in the Korean War And I still don't know what for, don't matter anymore [Chorus] You know that old trees just grow stronger And old rivers run wilder every day Old people, they grow lonesome Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello" [Verse] Me and Loretta, we don't talk much these days She sits and stares out the backdoor screen And all the news just repeats itself Like some forgotten dream that we've all seen Maybe I'll go and call up Rudy We worked together at the factory What would I say if he asks what's new? "Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do" [Chorus] You know that old trees just grow stronger And old rivers run wilder every day Old people grow lonesome Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello" [Verse] So if you're walking down the street sometime And spot some old, familiar, ancient eyes Please don't just pass 'em by and stare as if you didn't care Say, "Hello in there, hello" [Chorus] You know that old trees just grow stronger And old rivers run wilder every day Old people, they grow lonesome Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello"
