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’ve 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’ve got
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
Lead me to my baby
Radio’s jammed up
With talk show stations
Just talk, 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
Anybody out there
Listening to my last prayer?
Hiho, silver-o
Deliver me from nowhere
