The rest is when the real story of Josh Gracin begins. His Gold certified debut album introduced him with the top hit singles “I Want to Live,” “Nothin’ to Lose” and “Stay with Me (Brass Bed),” while his electrifying live shows thrilled and energized crowds everywhere. “It’s been an amazing couple of years,” says the broad-shouldered former Marine. “Country radio and the fans have been really receptive and encouraging and I’m excited to take this next step.”
With a sophomore album on the horizon, the young star known for his energetic stage performances made sure his new work focused on his strengths: live-wire, rocking country that blends wit and wholesome fun; and songs that celebrate the down-to-earth lifestyle that Gracin pursues and personifies. “My life has changed a lot in a few years, but I haven’t changed,” the singer says. “I have a family that keeps me grounded. For me, it’s all about the music. I just want to get out there, help people have a good time and play some great music for them.”

Josh Gracin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I couldn't wait until the time was right
I got enough caffeine, enough gasoline
And I'm gonna drive all night
The wheels keep rollin'
I feel like my soul is caving in
Until I'm holdin', holdin' you again
There's nothin' good on the radio
Ain't nothin' good at all when you're not by my side
And I still have a long way to go
Down this broken white line
The wheels keep rollin'
I feel like my soul is caving in
Until I'm holdin', holdin' you again
I can't wait, no I can't wait
I can't wait to touch you
The wheels keep rollin'
I feel like my soul is caving in
Until I'm holdin', holdin' you again
Holdin', holdin', holdin'
Holdin' you again
Holdin' you again
In the song "Wheels" by Josh Gracin, the lyrics depict a longing and craving for someone who is not by the singer's side. The singer is unable to wait for the morning or for the right time, and so they set out on a drive, fueled by caffeine and gasoline, with the intention of driving all night. The repetitive refrain "The wheels keep rollin'" illustrates how the singer is unable to stop moving forward, both in their physical journey and their emotional journey. The absence of the person they desire is apparently causing a sense of emptiness and unease in them, as they feel like their soul is caving in.
The lyrics further demonstrate the singer's feeling of loneliness, as they find nothing good on the radio and have a long way to go along a broken white line. Despite this, the refrain "Until I'm holdin', holdin' you again" suggests that all they need to remedy these feelings is to be with the person they are longing for. The final line of the song, "Holdin' you again," is repeated, emphasizing the central desire of the lyrics.

I couldn't wait until the morning
I was so eager to see you that I couldn't even wait until morning
I couldn't wait until the time was right
I was so impatient that I couldn't even wait for the perfect time
I got enough caffeine, enough gasoline
I've loaded myself up with coffee and fuel to sustain me through the night
And I'm gonna drive all night
I'm so determined to see you that I'm willing to drive all night long
There's nothin' good on the radio
Even the radio won't entertain me as nothing could replace you
Ain't nothin' good at all when you're not by my side
Without you, nothing feels good anymore
And I still have a long way to go
This distance between us is too far and I still have to travel for long hours
Down this broken white line
I'm following this long and winding beaten path to reach to you
I can't wait, no I can't wait
I'm desperately excited and eagerly looking forward to seeing you ASAP
I can't wait to touch you
I'm dying to physically feel your presence around me
Holdin', holdin', holdin'
I want to hold you forever
Holdin' you again
I crave to hold you in my arms again
