Mary Anne, acting as cold as Mark was to Mary Anne’s friend, left Mark for a different guy. The guy wore sweatpants and drove a pick up truck, which are two descriptions that describe a either a person who doesn’t care about their appearance, or is more laid back.

The lines: “The disapproval’s all I need, To keep my conscience clean” are saying that knowing how society and the social norms sees and disapproves your life only means that your doing something right (“conscience clean”).
