Story Behind the Song
Lyrics
A girl only half his age, in a blue party dress,
The keys to a red Sting Ray, his to impress (no one)
Where are you going, Danny--
Where have you been?
He drives to an uptown bar, orders a scotch
She sips on her tonic water,
He looks at his watch (again)
Where are you going, Danny,
Where have you been?
Forty years have flown by,
In one single, silent night
And I can't pretend, my friend,
That I'm satisfied--
He sucks on his cigarette, puts down his drink
He knows that he's failed this test,
He can no longer think (ask him)
Where are you going, Danny, Where have you been
He swings by to drop her off, at the edge of a dorm
Her friends only point and laugh, to him
It's just a normal pain,
Where are you going, Danny,
Where have you been?
