Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And she don`t have to rob and steal
Well, my baby don`t have to work
And she don`t have to rob and steal
Yes, I`ll give her everything she needs
`Cause I am her driving wheel
Yes, she left me this morning
And she said she`d be back soon
And she said she`d be back soon
Yes, she would be back early Friday mornin`
Or laid over Saturday afternoon
Yes, every time she walk
She shakes like a leaf tremblin` on a tree
Yes, when my baby walk down the street
She shakes like a leaf tremblin` on a tree
Yes, the women all hate her
But man, she`s alright with me
Wo, I sent the U.N. a telegram
Don`t want nobody else to break the seal
Wo, I sent the U.N. a telegram
Don`t want nobody else to break the seal
I want the whole world to know
That I am my baby`s driving wheel
The song "Drivin Wheel" by B.B King and Friends ft. Glenn Frey is an ode to the singer's lover, who he proclaims doesn't have to work or steal because he will provide for her. He declares himself as her "driving wheel," suggesting that he is the force behind her success and movement in life. However, despite his devotion to her, she leaves him, promising to return soon. The singer describes his lover as having a unique and charming way of walking, which results in women being envious of her, but he adores her all the same. He even sends the U.N. a telegram to proclaim his commitment to her and to ensure that nobody else may "break the seal" of their relationship.
