| 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." |
