Very simple. The song is about sex.....and Sally's reluctance to supply it as a reward for the guy giving her a snappy new set of wheels! And, because he gave her those wheels.....she's always somewhere else!
That's what makes the song great. The subject matter is delivered in minimal lyrics clad in enough euphemism to get played it on the radio. A terrific groove, and a rousing chorus.
For some reason girls love this song. And the more drunk they are.....the more they love it! Why? Is it the empowerment (Sally's got the upper hand)? Is it just the opportunity to bawl out the chorus in unison but out of tune? Who knows....but it's a winner.
