Never do that - let it sit for a while, weeks, months, it doesn't matter. One day you come back, in a different mood, and your brain has a different idea of where the song should go, and suddenly it works.
I had a song (working title: fast hard rock ballad) that was going nowhere, and a month later I almost halved the tempo, changed from 4/4 to 3/4, and voila!
Still not a good song, but at least it worked.

That being said, your song is not bad at all, a nice little southern rocker with a lot of energy.
Billy Gibbons says "hello".
Your vocals also fit this genre well, nothing to complain here.

The only thing I'd change is the chorus, which is a bit too long (others will disagree I guess).
I would split it into 2 lines pre-chorus and 2 lines chorus to keep it short and crisp and varied.

Enjoyed my listen.

I have learned NOT to delete something even though I think it's going no where. So.....

I'm glad you offered the advice and that you liked it. I don't think I'll spend much more time on it at this point as there are several others now in the pipeline in various stages of incompletion.

Thanks for commenting.
