In United States history, carpetbagger was a pejorative term Southerners gave to Northerners (also referred to as Yankees) who moved to the South during the Reconstruction era, between 1865 and 1877.
The term referred to the observation that these newcomers tended to carry "carpet bags," a common form of luggage at the time (sturdy and made from used carpet). It was used as a derogatory term, suggesting opportunism and exploitation by the outsiders.
I think the song is sort of referring to a friend who a girl comes from outside the circle of friends, charms a guy he knows and then he winds up being "p*ssy whipped" as it is often referred to, and he loses contact with his old life and his pals because he's been dominated.
