About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse 1] We had an apartment in the city Me and Loretta like living there Well, it's been years since the kids have grown A life of their own, left us alone [Verse 2] John and Linda live in Omaha And Joe is somewhere on the road We lost Davy in the Korean War Still don’t know what for, don't matter anymore [Chorus] 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" [Verse 3] Me and Loretta, we don't talk much anymore She sits and stares through the backdoor screen And all the news just repeats itself Like some forgotten dream that we’ve both seen [Verse 4] 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?" "Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do" [Chorus] You know that old trees just grow stronger And old rivers wilder every day Old people just grow lonesome Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there" [Verse 5] 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"
