[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Mister state trooper, please, don't stop me Please, don't stop me, please, don't stop me [Verse 2] Maybe you got a kid Maybe you got yourself a pretty wife The only thing that I got's Been botherin' mе my whole life [Chorus] Mister statе trooper, please, don't stop me Please, don't stop me, please, don't stop me [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Mister state trooper, please, don't stop me Please, don't stop me, I said, please, don't stop me [Outro] Hey, somebody out there Listen to my last prayer Hi ho silver-o Deliver me from nowhere [Chorus] Mister state trooper, please, don't stop me Please, don't stop me, I said, please, don't stop me
