Once they meet the school teacher, she provides them with the desired substance and they proceed to leave. However, they are interrupted by the arrival of the police, forcing them to quickly escape in a pickup truck. As they drive away, they encounter various obstacles such as flashing red lights, sirens, and a sudden rainstorm.

The song ends with the repeated plea to "Get out of Denver," suggesting the need for the narrator and his girlfriend to escape the consequences of their actions.
