This song seems to be about the new "independent 21st century woman" image that the media seems to be pushing these days, who can somehow perfectly balance her high paying job with her personal life. It seems like John McCrea's being sarcastic and may not really want a girl like that.
I think he is not being sarcastic because of this part:

With fingernails
That shine like justice
And a voice that is dark
Like tinted glass
With fingernails
That shine like justice
And a voice that is dark
Like tinted glass
That does not seem sarcastic at all. It seems very deep. And, if this part is not sarcastic, the whole song, being very homogeneous, cannot be sarcastic.

That verse is actually the one that I find the most hilarious in all the song. What the hell are "fingernails // That shine like justice"? I dunno man. I dunno.

@Wrapid I don't think he's sarcastic, I think he's just self aware that its unexpected for a song like this. He wants a girl like that because he's at a point in his life where he is ready to settle down and wants somebody who is able to take care of themselves and be responsible. That's the joke of the song is that he is interested in that instead of just what she looks like. He does want somebody sexy but he wants somebody sexy and responsible, and as the song goes on he gets more and more literal on...
