Lyrics

[Verse 1]
New Jersey Turnpike
Riding 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 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 got's
Been bothering me my whole life
[Chorus]
Mister state trooper
Please don't stop me
Please don't ya stop me
Please don't ya stop me
[Verse 4]
In the wee, wee hours
Your mind gets hazy
Radio relay towers
Gonna lead me to my baby
[Verse 5]
The 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
Whoa!
Hoo-whoo!
[Outro]
Hey, somebody out there
Listen to my last prayer
Hi-ho, Silver! Oh!
Deliver me from nowhere
[Outro]
Whoa!
Hoo!
