Mary's New Car Lyrics

Mary got a brand new car
Mary got a brand new set of wheels
Now everyone is so charged
Man you don't know how good it feels
And we wanna go where she goes
We wanna listen to her radio --

Mary got a brand new car
Mary got the one she was savin' for
Now everyone here is so charged
Many never looked so good before
And we wanna go where she goes
We wanna listen to her radio --

Can we ride? Mary can we ride?
Can we ride? Mary can we ride?

Cover art for Mary's New Car lyrics by Tom Petty

I think this song is about someone who is doing better in life - inherited money, got a high-paying job, etc. Now everyone notices her. They did not care about her when she had less...but now people want to hang around her. They are not real friends.
