Driving Myself to Distraction

Verse 1

8 hours of asphalt, headlights and night frost
Headed north at nighttime to see my long-lost
Making ground as quickly as the engine will bear
For pale skin, a tattoo, and long straight black hair

Chorus

Driving myself to distraction
Been so long since I have felt your touch
Driving myself to distraction
The pressure in my mind is just too much

Verse 2

The weekend winds along with no suprises
We both are growing restless but neither realizes
Spend the night refusing all my advances
And the day being jealous of wayward glances

Chorus

Driving myself to distraction
Been so long since I have felt your touch
Driving myself to distraction
The pressure in my mind is just too much

Verse 3

Slinking back south on Sunday afternoon
I resign myself to a month of gloom
thirty days of solitude, and then
I'll turn the car around and head back again

Chorus

Driving myself to distraction
Been so long since I have felt your touch
Driving myself to distraction
The pressure in my mind is just too much

Hi There,

It's interesting, but we need more, we want to know why she does not respond
what is it he loves about this person

I dont think the description of the person is very exciting  re the last line first verse

Why is he/ she going back for more he didnt enjoy himself.

Whats the point there is no conclusion evry song needs that

I think your verses should be longer or at least make more before your first chorus.

The title is a play on words and that's okay but does it work?
