State Trooper

[Verse 1]

New Jersey Turnpike

Riding on a wet night

'Neath the refinery's glow

Down where the great black river flow

License, registration

I ain't got none

But I got a clear conscience

'Bout 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 a pretty wife

The only thing that I got

Been bothering me my whole life

[Chorus]

Mister State Trooper

Please don't stop me

Please don't stop me

Please don't ya stop me

[Verse 3]

Well, 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

'Til you lose your patience

[Chorus]

Mister State Trooper

Please don't stop me

Please don't stop me

Please don't ya stop me

[Verse 4]

Hey, somebody out there

Listen to my last prayer

Heigh-ho, Silver, oh

Deliver me from nowhere
