Driving Song Lyrics
Will they ever stop drivin' me?
Have they ever taken time to see
That I need some rest
if I'm to do my best?
Can I please stop workin' so hard?
They just tell me gotta close it hard.
Got to think of my health.
Can I be by myself?
Oh, they tell me I'll be home someday.
Well I doubt it if I continue this way,
`cause this hard life I've led
is makin' me dead.
Have they ever taken time to see
That I need some rest
if I'm to do my best?
Can I please stop workin' so hard?
They just tell me gotta close it hard.
Got to think of my health.
Can I be by myself?
Oh, they tell me I'll be home someday.
Well I doubt it if I continue this way,
`cause this hard life I've led
is makin' me dead.

No comments? Bah. 'bout being under pressure?
The song was written along with material for the "Stand Up" album, and I believe it was a B-side to either "Living in the Past" or "Sweet Dream." It can now be found on the bonus-track version of "Stand Up."
The song is Ian's commentary on the constant turing the band did early in it's career. Ian referring to the possibility of his health failing would become somewhat prophetic when Ian's voice started to fail in the mid-80's.
