I don't have much to say   Thought I'd call you up anyway   Just to try to show you the way   That I feel today   Oh, I miss you, baby      I sure am on the road   I don't need to say much more   Just the same old well-known stranger   That I was before   It seems like yesterday now      Daddy's all gone   Only half way home   He's holding on to the telephone   Saying, please, don't let the show go on      There's a bus every other hour   There's even the midnight train   But that don't leave me the power   To see your face again   It's not that simple      You see, there's a room full of smiling faces   There's a man standing by the door   Says it's time to change our places   And get down on the floor   Kill 'em, baby      Daddy's all gone   He's just half way home   He's holding on to the microphone   Singing, please, don't make the show go on
