The story behind the song

"Drive My Car" tells a playful story of a woman who plans to be a famous movie star and offers the male narrator the job of her chauffeur, with the enticing "maybe I'll love you" thrown in. Despite his initial objections, she convinces him that working for her is a better prospect than "working for peanuts." The twist comes when she admits she has no car, but now she has a driver, which is "a start." Paul McCartney revealed that "drive my car" was an old blues euphemism for sex, adding a layer of suggestive meaning to this 1965 track from the Rubber Soul album. It's a song about ambition, negotiation, and perhaps, a deeper kind of ride.
