State Trooper

[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
