New Jersey Turnpike
Riding on a wet night
'Neath the refinery's glow
Down where the great black river flow
Licence, registration
I ain't got none
But I got a clear conscience
'Bout the things that I done
Mister State Trooper
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop me
Maybe you got a kid
Maybe you got a pretty wife
The only thing that I got's
Been bothering me my whole life
Mister State Trooper
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop me
Please don't ya stop me
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
Mister State Trooper
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop me
Please don't ya stop me
Hey, somebody out there
Listen to my last prayer
Heigh-ho, Silver, oh
Deliver me from nowhere
