Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a bag packed up at the foot of my bed
You say the word, baby I'm all set
Cover our tracks, tell a couple white lies
Make sure we got a good alibi and by the time they catch on,
we'll be outa their sight
Long gone baby
Nothing but dust in the shadows
Gone by morning light
Somewhere we wont ever get caught, never be found
Baby lets just get out of this town
Don't need directions, don't need a map
If we get lost, I'll be good with that
Yeah we'll find a way to make the time pass
Windows rolled down with the heat on high
Stars all aligned in a runaway sky
Holding my hand as the miles roll by
Long gone baby
Lets get out of this town tonight
Nothing but dust in the shadows
Gone by morning light
Somewhere we wont ever get caught, never be found
Baby lets just get out of this town
If we leave tonight and drive fast enough, all our troubles will be just like us
Long gone baby
Lets get out of this town tonight
Nothing but dust in the shadows
Gone by morning light
Somewhere we wont ever get caught, never be found
Baby lets just get out of this town
The song "Get Out Of This Town" by Carrie Underwood is about the idea of leaving a small town behind and starting something new. The singer has everything planned out in their head and has even packed a bag ready to leave. There's a sense of urgency conveyed as they want to leave as soon as possible and start fresh. However, in order to avoid any repercussions or being caught, they plan to cover their tracks and lie if necessary.
The image of escaping is reinforced throughout the song with references to dust and shadows, and the desire to be somewhere they will never be found. There's a feeling of liberation and a longing for adventure as they hit the road with no set plan, but just the intention to leave everything behind. The idea of leaving behind all their troubles is a recurring theme in the song, as if they believe that leaving will solve everything.
Overall, the song is about wanting to escape a small town and start anew. It's about feeling trapped and suffocated by the confines of a small community and needing to break free. The song encourages the idea that sometimes, it's necessary to leave what's familiar in order to grow and discover new things.

Got it all figured out inside of my head
I have made all the necessary preparations in my mind
There's a bag packed up at the foot of my bed
I have already packed a bag and it is ready for us to leave
You say the word, baby I'm all set
Just give me the signal and I am ready to go
Cover our tracks, tell a couple white lies
We need to be cautious and make up some lies to avoid suspicion
Make sure we got a good alibi and by the time they catch on, we'll be outa their sight
We need to prepare an excuse in case someone investigates where we went
Long gone baby
We will be far away from here and our problems
Lets get out of this town tonight
We should leave as soon as possible
Nothing but dust in the shadows
Our past life will be left behind us
Gone by morning light
We will have already left before anyone notices
Somewhere we wont ever get caught, never be found
We need to find a safe and hidden place to start over
Baby lets just get out of this town
We need to leave this place behind and start anew
Don't need directions, don't need a map
We don't need to plan our route, we can just start driving
If we get lost, I'll be good with that
Even if we don't know where we are going, I am okay with that
Yeah we'll find a way to make the time pass
We will entertain ourselves along the way
Windows rolled down with the heat on high
We will enjoy the sense of freedom in our car
Stars all aligned in a runaway sky
The universe is in our favor for this journey
Holding my hand as the miles roll by
We are in this together and supporting each other
If we leave tonight and drive fast enough, all our troubles will be just like us
By leaving quickly and putting distance between us, we can escape our problems
Lets get out of this town tonight
We need to escape before it's too late
Nothing but dust in the shadows
We want to leave everything behind and start fresh
Gone by morning light
We need to leave in the cover of darkness to avoid detection
Somewhere we wont ever get caught, never be found
We need to find a new place where we won't be recognized or discovered
Baby lets just get out of this town
We need to start anew and leave our old life behind
