One Way Track Marks lyrics

[Verse 1]
He started off on Oxycontin and moved on to black tar heroin
We thought he only smoked it, and only every now and then
But when he wore that t-shirt we saw he had taken it too far
There was no turnin' back: we saw the one-way track marks on his arms

[Verse 2]
They say heroin's a lady with legs that reach up to the sky
And an ass like molasses so sweet a man'd follow 'til he died
But I never thought I'd see the day a friend would fall victim to her charms
There was no turnin' back: we saw the one-way track marks on his arms

[Verse 3]
Today they laid him in a coffin and the pastor said "He's in God's arms again"
But he'd already been there 'cause junkies just bring heaven down to them
Well I hope the angels up there can hold him and heal all his scars
And with their sweet and gentle ways they'll erase the one-way track marks on his arms
