New jersey turnpike ridin on a wet night
neath the refinerys glow, out where the great black rivers flow
License, registration, I aint got none, but I got a clear conscience
bout the things that I done
Mister state trooper please dont stop me...

Maybe you got a kid maybe you got a pretty wife, the only
thing that I gots been botherin me my whole life
Mister state trooper please dont stop me

In the wee, wee hours your mind get hazy, radio relay towers lead me to my baby
Radios jammed up with talk show stations
Its just talk, talk till you lose your patience
Mister state trooper please dont stop me

Hey somebody out there, listen to my last prayer
Hi ho silver-o deliver me from nowhere
