It took far, far too long to figure this out. Actually, an embarrassingly long time, so please let's stop talking about it.
To mark the end of a song in GarageBand, drag the purple arrow in the top measure marker area to where you would like the end of your song to be. When exporting, GarageBand will automatically cut off dead air - in theory. However, if you want to keep your GarageBand window as manageable as possible, or end the song earlier that the last bit of recorded sound, the purple arrow is your secret weapon.
