I think this song is about how teenagers just want to get out of whatever town they grew up in. They are sure that there is something better for them out there somewhere. Their hometown is the place where the singer first discovered girls, booze, and rock music, but he still feels no connection to it because he is sure that something bigger is waiting out there.
I especially like the line, "So when they tap our Sunday heads/to zombie-walk in our stead." He's saying when they graduate and move on another generation will come and do the same things they did.
