Lyric discussion by t4r 

Yeah, she's not a hooker; she just sleeps around on him. "Street corner girl" and "midnight shift" are meant as insults towards her; he's not saying she's an actual hooker.

"In the bars, with the men who play guitars/Singin', drinkin' and rememberin' the times" means she goes out and has a good time with other guys.

In the 2nd verse, the words are actually "Don't say they come to pray to the lord, not when my little girl looks so fine."

That verse is figurative—it's not about actually going to church, but about how she acts innocent when she's with him. He sees all the attention she gets from other guys, and she acts like they're just being friendly, but he doesn't buy it.

t4r pretty much is correct about the meaning of this song; she is not a hooker/prostitute but, she is a slut/party girl that wants to party all the time with other men and get balled all day. balling/balled/ball back in the day when this song was written was slang for fuc*ing.
