[ John Prine ]
|
|
We had an apartment in the city
|
Me and Loretta liked living there
|
It'd been years since the kids had grown
|
A life of their own
|
Left us alone
|
John and Linda live in Omaha
|
Joe is somewhere on the road
|
We lost Davey in the Korean War
|
And I still don't know what for
|
dont matter anymore
|
|
Chorus:
|
You know that old trees grow stronger
|
and old rivers grow wilder everyday
|
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 he asks "what's new?"
|
"nothin what's with you?"
|
nothin much to do
|
|
Chorus
|
|
So if you walking down the street some time
|
And spot some hollow ancient eyes
|
Please don't just pass em by and stare
|
as if you didnt care
|
Say hello in there
|
hello
|
|
