I think this song is about reconnecting with old high school friends who never really moved on once they graduated, and meeting someone new in the same situation. I know when you're young people want to sleep around and they make mistakes with each other which I think he is referring to in the first verse. This new girl he met seems pretty self-confident but its clear that there's something tough happening in her life and from the reference to visiting her mother and no longer having someone saying they'll stay up waiting for her, I think maybe her mom was sick and that's why she had to return home. All the while the singer is there for her and trying to cheer her up, being silly and talking in southern accents etc.
That's my interpretation but I'm sure it could mean a lot of other things to other people as well. It is such a catchy song I love it!
