"Driving Wheels" was the second single from Freight Train Heart, the 1987 third studio album by Australian rock singer Jimmy Barnes, and it rolls the way a road song should. Barnes wrote it with Jonathan Cain and David Roberts, and Cain also co-produced it with Mike Stone and played the keyboards and piano.
The band is stacked: Neal Schon and Rick Brewster on guitars, Randy Jackson on bass, Tony Brock on drums and David Lindley adding pedal steel, with Barnes singing lead and piling on backing vocals alongside Dave Amato and David Glen Eisley. Mike Stone and Al Wright mixed it. Back home it climbed to 12 on the Australian chart, and it reached 19 in New Zealand.
