Verse 1

I don't have much to say 
Thought I'd call you up any-way 
Just to try to show you the way
That I feel today
Oh, I miss you ba-by

Verse 2

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

Chorus

Daddy's all gone  
Only halfway home  
He's holding on to the telephone
Saying, please don't let the show go on.

Interlude

D G - Am7 Bm7 C C/D

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

You see, there's a room full of smiling faces 
There's a man standin' by the door 
Says it's time to change our places
And get down on the floor
Kill 'em, baby

Chorus

Daddy's all gone  
He's just halfway home  
He's holding on to the microphone
Singing, please don't make the show go on 

Outro

D Eb - Bb F - C G - -
