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 botherin' me my whole life

Mister State Trooper
Please don't stop me
Please don't ya stop me
Please don't ya stop me

In the wee, wee hours
Your mind gets hazy
Radio relay towers
Gonna 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
Woo
Hoo, woo

Hey, somebody out there
Listen to my last prayer
Hi ho, Silver, oh
Deliver me from nowhere

Ho
Hoo
