wheels
Moore Justin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tonight, shoulda swallowed my pride
Stood in the driveway 'til I saw it her way
But tonight, she let the gravel fly
Tore out on the two lane, hope it ain't too late
Highway reflectors bouncing off the headlights
Gotta do what I gotta do to make these twenties whine

Wheels

Just as fast as I can go gotta keep 'em turnin'
Wheels
Got the hammer down, got the Firestones burnin'
Out the windshield
I'm searchin' for her taillights out in the distance
She's out there somewhere and time is tickin'
I pray this much I ain't just spinnin' my
Wheels

Green light would sure be nice
Still gonna gun it but I won't have to run it
305 letting all 8 fly
I pray a little harder every mile marker
She'll wake up beside me wearing my tank top
Gotta do what I gotta do to get her I won't stop

Wheels
Just as fast as I can go gotta keep 'em turnin'
Wheels
Got the hammer down got the Firestones burnin'
Out the windshield
I'm searchin' for her taillights out in the distance
She's out there somewhere and time is tickin'
I pray this much I ain't just spinnin' my
Pray this much I ain't just spinnin' my
Wheels
Spinnin' my wheels
No I ain't just spinnin' my wheels

Wheels
Just as fast as I can go gotta keep 'em turnin'
Wheels
Got the hammer down got the Firestones burnin'
Out the windshield
I'm searchin' for her taillights out in the distance
She's out there somewhere and time is tickin'
I pray this much I ain't just spinnin' my
Pray this much I ain't just spinnin' my
Pray this much I ain't just spinnin' my
Wheels

Spinnin' my wheels
No I ain't just spinnin' my wheels

Overall Meaning

The song "Wheels" by Justin Moore is an upbeat and fast-paced country love song about a man who is frantically trying to catch up to his love interest on the highway. The first verse describes how the man regrets not compromising with his love interest, and now he is chasing after her. He is driving as fast as he can, hoping that he can catch up to her before it's too late. He reminisces about how he hopes to see her taillights in the distance as he races to find her. The second verse continues the story, describing how he is driving even faster and hoping that she will wake up beside him in the morning.

The chorus talks about the "wheels" of his vehicle and how he's pushing them to their limits as he pursues his love. He prays that he's not just "spinning his wheels," meaning that he's not just driving aimlessly without any chance of catching up to her. He's willing to do whatever it takes to win her over and make things right between them.

Overall, the song is a typical love story with a country twist. It emphasizes the importance of persistence and determination, as the man refuses to give up on his love interest and is willing to go to great lengths to win her back.

Line by Line Meaning

Tonight, shoulda swallowed my pride
I regret not humbling myself tonight

Stood in the driveway 'til I saw it her way
I wish I had stayed in the driveway until she agreed with me

But tonight, she let the gravel fly
She left quickly, kicking up rocks behind her car

Tore out on the two lane, hope it ain't too late
I hope I can catch up to her on the two lane road

Highway reflectors bouncing off the headlights
The highway markers are reflecting light back at me

Gotta do what I gotta do to make these twenties whine
I need to push my car as hard as I can to catch up with her

Green light would sure be nice
I want the traffic lights to be in my favor

305 letting all 8 fly
My car's engine is roaring loudly as I push it to its limit

She'll wake up beside me wearing my tank top
I imagine a future where we're together and she's wearing my clothes

Gotta do what I gotta do to get her I won't stop
I will do whatever it takes to win her back and I won't give up

Wheels
I'm driving as fast as I can to catch up with her

Just as fast as I can go gotta keep 'em turnin'
I'm pushing my car to the limit to catch up with her

Got the hammer down, got the Firestones burnin'
My car is accelerating quickly and my tires are smoking

Out the windshield
I'm looking ahead through the car windshield

I'm searchin' for her taillights out in the distance
I'm looking for her car's taillights in the distance

She's out there somewhere and time is tickin'
She's out there and I need to find her quickly

I pray this much I ain't just spinnin' my
I hope I'm not wasting my time driving towards her

Pray this much I ain't just spinnin' my wheels
I hope I'm not just driving in circles and not getting anywhere

Spinnin' my wheels
I don't want to waste time driving towards her without any progress

No I ain't just spinnin' my wheels
I'm confident that I'm making progress towards finding her
