I think it's about a guy who tries to score with his girl but she thinks it over and backs off. Think about it:
what do you do when you have "No particular place to go"?
"I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile/my curiosity running wild" - the first verse tells us his intentions, especially this part.
The second verse is when he begins to make suggestions while they're "Cuddlin'more and drivin' slow", which suggests that things are steaming up. "She leaned and whispered in my ear" tells us that the girl was for it at first.
The clincher comes in verse 3: what happens when you park the car? And to "take a stroll" is much less innocent if you read into it. And the girl backs down from going all the way because he "couldn't unfasten her safety belt".
When I listen to the song, I listen to the tone and emphasis on the fourth verse - the joke's out and Chuck knows it, and he's really belting out the last verse about a very awkward ride home.
