[Verse 1] Quarter past five by the Dodge Main gate Your punch card bent, but you walking too straight Blue lunch pail tapping, union pin catching light I said, "Wait up, baby," you said, "I can't tonight" [Chorus] Where you going now? Baby, where you going now? That Davison bus got its front door open wide Tell me plain. Where you going now? You got my picture turned to the cardboard side (Ooh, tell him true) [Verse 2] In that pink bus transfer, a note showed blue "East Warren, apartment eight," and a phone number too Your pay-phone dime flashed bright in your hand I said, "Say who he is," you said, "You won't understand" [Chorus] Where you going now? Baby, where you going now? That Davison bus got its front door open wide Tell me plain. Where you going now? You got my picture turned to the cardboard side (Ooh, tell him true) [Bridge] I could ring your sister over on McGraw Could shame you loud where the whole shift saw But the driver tapped twice, and you looked at your shoes I opened my fist, let the last dime loose (Stand easy, brother) [Chorus] Where you going now? Baby, where you going now? That Davison bus pulling you out of my sight Tell me plain. Where you going now? Keep my picture turned to the cardboard side (Ooh, let her ride)
