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
About 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
Has been botherin' me my whole life
Mister State Trooper
Please don’t stop me
Please don’t stop me
Please don’t stop me
In the wee, wee hours
Your mind gets hazy
Radio relay towers
Gonna lead me to my baby
The radio’s jammed up
With talk-show stations
It’s just talk, talk, talk
'Til you lose your patience
Mister State Trooper
Please don’t stop me
Please don’t stop me
Please don’t stop me
Hey, somebody out there
Listen to my last prayer
Hi ho silver
Deliver me from nowhere, ah!
