Hello In There(Live) - Kris Kristofferson
Written by:J. Prine
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
Joe is somewhere on the road
We lost Davy in the Korean war
I still don't know what for don't matter anymore
You know old trees just grow stronger
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
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
One like tell him miss he asks what's new
Nothing what's with you nothing much to do
You know old trees just grow stronger
Old rivers grow wilder ev'ry day
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say hello in there hello
So if you're walking down the street sometime
Spot some hollow weaken eyes
Please don't just pass 'em by and stare
As if you didn't care say hello in there hello
