State trooper lyrics

New jersey turnpike, ridin on a wet night `neath the refinrys glow

Out where the great black rivers flow

License, registration: I aint 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 gots been bothrin 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 get hazy

Radio relay towers lead me to my baby

The radios jammed up with talk show stations

Its just talk, talk, talk, talk, till you lose your patience

Mister state trooper, please don't stop me

Hey, somebody out there, listen to my last prayer

Hiho silver-o, deliver me from nowhere
