In my opinion, the song is about a girl that is trying to 'fit in'. She is trying to show her schoolmates that she is 'cool'. She is doing this by having sex when she was to young an acting as a teenage rebel. I think the sentence "With a parrot on your shoulder, saying everything when you talk" means that she is copying the populair girls.
But while she is trying to be the populair girl, she actually wants to be the small sweet girl she was before(Judy, where did you go wrong? You used to make me smile when I was down) and dreams of the times she was just riding horses and didn't have to think about her image.

BTW, it is a beautifull song.
