"State Trooper" lyrics

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 yourself a pretty wife
The only thing that I got's
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
It's just talk, talk, talk, talk, till you lose your patience

Mister state trooper, please, don't stop me
Please, don't stop me, I said, please, don't stop me

Hey, somebody out there
Listen to my last prayer
Hi ho silver-o
Deliver me from nowhere

Mister state trooper, please, don't stop me
Please, don't stop me, I said, please, don't stop me
