“Where Do You Think You’re Going” is the title of a song by Dire Straits, originally released in 1979 as the B-side of the single “Lady Writer.” This poignant composition revolves around a monologue by the narrator who grapples with the impending departure of the woman he loves. Rather than accepting her departure, he clings to his pride.
