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
