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
