Lyrics for Driving Wheel

Well, my baby don't have to work 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 Yes, she left me this morning 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
