State Trooper

[Verse 1]

New Jersey Turnpike

Cruisin' on a wet night

Beneath the refinery's glow

Out where the bleak black water flows

[Verse 2]

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 ya stop me

Please don't ya stop me

Please don't ya stop me

[Verse 3]

Maybe you got a kid

Maybe you got a pretty wife

Well, the only thing that I got

Has been botherin' me my whole life

[Chorus]

Mister state trooper

Please don't ya stop me

Please don't ya stop me

Please don't stop me

Hey

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

Now, in the wee, wee hours

Your mind get hazy

Radio relay towers

Won't you lead me to my baby

[Verse 5]

Now, the radio's jammed up

With talk show stations

It's just talk, talk, talk, talk

'Til you're losin' your patience

[Chorus]

Mister state trooper

Please don't ya stop me

Well, please don't ya stop me

Well, please don't stop me

Huh huh

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 6]

Is anybody out there

Listenin' to my last prayer?

Hi ho, silver-o

Deliver me from nowhere
