"State Trooper"
New Jersey Turnpike
Riding on a wet night
'neath the refinery's glow
Down where the great black river flowLicence, registration:
I ain't got none
But I got a clear conscience
'bout the things that I doneMister State Trooper
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop meMaybe you got a kid
Maybe you got a pretty wife
The only thing that I got's
Been bugging me my whole lifeMister State Trooper
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop me
Please don't ya stop meWell, in the wee wee hours
Your mind gets hazy
Radio relay towers
Gonna lead me to my babyRadio's jammed up
With talk show stations
It's just talk, talk, talk, talk
'til you lose your patienceMister State Trooper
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop me
Please don't ya stop meHey, somebody out there
Listen to my last prayer,
Heigh-ho Silver oh,
Deliver me from nowhere
