State Trooper

[Verse 1]

New Jersey turnpike

Ridin' on a wet night

’Neath the refinery's glow

Out where the great black rivers flow

[Verse 2]

License, registration

I ain't got none

But I got a clear conscience

’Bout the things that I've done

[Chorus]

Mister State Trooper

Please don't stop me

Please don't stop me

Please don't stop me

[Verse 3]

Maybe you got a kid

Maybe you got a pretty wife

The only thing that I've got

'Sbeen botherin' me my whole life

[Chorus]

Mister State Trooper

Please don’t you stop me

Please don’t you stop me

Please don't you stop me

[Verse 4]

But in the wee, wee hours

Your mind gets hazy

Radio relay towers

Gonna lead me to my baby

[Verse 5]

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 (Woah)

[Verse 6]

Hey, somebody out there

Listen to my last prayer

Hi ho silver-o

Deliver me from nowhere
