The song Hello, We're Lonely is about a lonely barroom that has no customers. The friendly bartender and the waitress are there waiting for people to come in and tell them their troubles or flirt with them. They mention regular customers who usually come in, but they're not there tonight. They ask for someone to put some money in the jukebox and play some old Hank Williams songs. The song portrays the emptiness of the barroom and the need for lonely people to come together in such a place. The story seems to be about the feelings of isolation and desperation that can arise when people have no one to talk to or share their troubles with. The song suggests that lonely people need other lonely people to come together and share their burdens in order to feel less lonely.
