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 'bout halfway home
He's holding onto the telephone
Singing, please
Don't make this show go on

There's a bus every other hour
There's even that midnight train
But that don't leave me power
To see your face again
It's not that simple, baby

There's a room full of smiling faces
There's a man standing by the door
Says it's time to change our places
Get down on the floor
Time to kill them, baby
Daddy's all gone (Papa's all gone now)
Only 'bout halfway home
He's holding onto the microphone
Singing, please
Don't make this show go on
