John Prine - Hello in There lyrics



We have an apartment in the city
Me and Loretta like livin' there
It's been years since the kids have grown
A life of their own
Left us alone

John and Linda live in Omaha
and Joe is somewhere on the road
and we lost Davey in the Korean War
And I still don't know what for
Don't matter anymore

You know that old trees just grow stronger
And old rivers grow wilder every day
But old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say
"Hello in there, Hello"

Now 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
What could I say if he asked what's new
Nothin', what's with you
Nothin' much to do

You know that old trees just grow stronger
And old rivers grow wilder every day
But old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say
"Hello in there, Hello"

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"
