this song was written about a friend of mine who overdosed and lost his life....it reflects on how powerless we can all become under the influence and that in the end, drug abuse will eventually catch up to you

Story behind the song
this song was written about a friend who overdosed on drugs, and the rehabilitating counsel that I tried to give him before he passed away.
Lyrics
So you're leavin' on a northbound trip
Just south of nowhere
You said you gotta get away
From this cold, cold world you've made
You said it's alright
But sister it ain't right with me
You said it's alright
Oh sister, why can't you see
You're locked in your room
With your needle and spoon
Your world is turning upside down
Your head is spinning 'round and 'round
Mary you go 'round
Ride the horse that takes you up and down and down
Living on a carousel
I hear that you don't fare so well
You see there comes a time to pay the price
No one ever rides for for free
You said you want to leave this state of mind
So I left you at the station
You're gonna need another dime
Just to reach your destination
