I agree. I have always thought this song was about dealing drugs. The man is obviously the dealer and he "He gives me what I need" (drugs) "but not for free" (obviously, you have to pay.) And then "I killed all my nerves my nerves? What swerves? And I can't drive so steady" is the drugs screwing him up.
