Turn It Up
Josh Gracin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At the end of a long hard week
Picked her up she jumped into my truck
And slipped into the passenger seat
She said I don't care where we go
As long as we are rocking to your radio
Turn it up, Turn it up
Let's rock, I'm ready to roll
Let's go crazy, Turn it up
We were driving moonlight riding
Wound up down a dead end road
I was in the mood trying to make my move
I leaned over and I pulled her close
She said there is plenty of time for romance
Right now all I want to do is dance
So turn it up, Turn it up
There ain't no such thing as loud enough
Let's rock, I'm ready to roll
Let's go crazy
Cause I all I want to do tonight is
Shout at the moon shoot out the lights
It don't matter as long as the music's on
She said whatever they're playing
They're playing our song
She said I don't care where we go
As long as we are rocking to your radio
So turn it up, turn it up
There ain't no such thing as loud enough
Let's rock, I'm ready to roll
Let's go crazy
Turn it up, Turn it up
There ain't no such thing as loud enough
Let's rock, I'm ready to roll
Let's go crazy
Turn it up, Turn it up, yeah, Turn it up
Turn it up

The singer is in the mood for romance but his love interest is seeking the simplicity of music, wanting to dance and have a good time.
