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
