State Trooper

New Jersey Turnpike

Ridin' on a wet night

'Neath the refinery's glow

Out where the great black rivers flow

License, registration

I ain't got none

But I got a clear conscience

'Bout the things that I done

Mister state trooper

Please don't stop me

Please don't stop me

Please don't stop me

Maybe you got a kid

Maybe you got a pretty wife

The only thing that I got's

Been both'rin' me my whole life

Mister state trooper

Please don't stop me

Please don't you stop me

Please don't you stop me

In the wee-wee hours

Your mind gets hazy

Radio relay towers

Gon' lead me to my baby

The radio's jammed up

With talk show stations

It's just talk, talk, talk, talk

'Til you lose your patience

Mister state trooper

Please don't stop me

Hey, somebody out there

Listen to my last prayer

Hi-ho-silver-o

Deliver me from nowhere
