[Verse 1]
New Jersey Turnpike
Riding on a wet night
'Neath the refinery's glow
Down where the great black river flow
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 2]
Maybe you got a kid
Maybe you got a pretty wife
The only thing that I got
Been bothering me my whole life

[Chorus]
Mister State Trooper
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop me
Please don't ya stop me
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Mister State Trooper
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop me
Please don't ya stop me

[Verse 4]
Hey, somebody out there
Listen to my last prayer
Heigh-ho, Silver, oh
Deliver me from nowhere
