Hit the pavement and drive for the first time in a long time
And pray that everything works out fine
She said try to have a good time
And get your fill of cheap thrills
And try anything to save a dime
So let's get moving, and let's get grooving
To every single word we couldn't know
Til we get carsick and play our hands quick
And try to save ourselves along the way
You're a gamble; you've got nothing left to lose
You think you got me in the back of your pocket, you do
So take a breath and try to keep it down
Cause I love these girls but I hate this town
But I'm positive that there's nothing about you to get to know
Hit the lights and get down for the last time in a long time
And try to think of every last line
She said try to have a good time
Don't put up with the hard hits
They'll just hit you harder every time
That you get moving; you'll just keep losing
What little bit of mind that you have left
So try and please me, but take it easy
And try to keep your thoughts above the belt
You're a gamble; you've got nothing left to lose
You think you got me in the back of your pocket, you do
So take a breath and try to keep it down
Cause I love these girls but I hate this town
But I'm positive that there's nothing about you to get to know
OH!

i think raptor's pretty much right about the meaning.
but it could also go with a relationship.
driving and praying that things work out fine are ways of coping with struggles.
'last lines' could mean they won't see each other for awhile, which could explain these struggles and the advice 'she' gives to him.
the first lines of the chorus describe someone deep into someone else ("you think you got me in the back of your pocket, you do", etc.)
but i can't help but think the last line of the chorus ("but i'm positive that there's nothing about you to get to know") can be applied to how most people generically say 'get to know me' when they're pretty much the same as everyone else.
or maybe he's teasing the girl for saying it?
