This song is definitely about graduating high school and not wanting to know where you're going, just that you want out
But, it is also about that one dude in high school, the one that is "cool", but also the one who has a future of domestic violence and alcohol abuse ahead of him, as he lives in his double wide, never giving up on his glory days of running this small town. The guy who you'll run into at the bar when you come back to visit, and he's still wearing his varsity jacket even though his belly seems to have outgrown it.
The verses are about that stereotypical person, no doubt. The choruses are about getting the fuck out, but not being sure what you want to do.
