Drive My car

Drive My Car was written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon in 1965. It was inspired by a joke among the Beatles about the groupies that followed the band. McCartney began writing the song intending to create a blues tune, but it eventually evolved into a story about an ambitious woman who wanted to be a star, and her man could be her driver, reflecting the times mood and spirit.
