Me and Loretta liked living there
It's been years since the kids have grown
A life of their own left us alone
John and Linda live in Oma ha
Kathy's somewhere on the road
We lost Stevie in the Korean War
Still don't know what for
Old rivers grow wilder every day
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say
through the back door screen
Yeah, all the news just repeats itself
Like some forgotten dream
Someday I'll go and call up Rudy
What can I say if he asks what's new
You know that old trees just grow stronger
The old rivers grow wilder every day
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say,
So if you're walk in' down
Don't just pass them by and stare
Had 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 livin' on the heart
Kathy's somewhere on the road
We lost Stevie in the Korean War
