Sounds like the x.x.x.x address doesn't exist at the time ssh.service is trying to run. The most likely reasons for this are that your x.x.x.x address is assigned to an interface that's configured later in the boot process (e.g. a wireless interface), or that it's assigned to an interface which is marked as "allow-hotplug" rather than "auto" in /etc/network/interfaces. ssh.service has "After=network.target", and network.target only waits for interfaces marked as "auto" to come up. If that.
