I think this song is of a woman thinking about her really good friend from her younger years. Because of her reference of Maureen as a "souped up car in this rent a go cart town" i think Maureen must've left the small town they were from and moved to a big city... the singer is simply reminiscing on the good old days, and wishing that she could see her again. I think she wants to show her how much she has grown, and show her who she has come to be (hence the "never meet my new friends" who are a reflection of who she is now) . .
