New Jersey Turnpike
Ridin' on a wet night
Down where the refinery glows
Down where the great black rivers flow
License, registration
I ain't got none
But I got a clear conscience
About 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've got
Has been botherin' my whole life

Mister state trooper
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop me

In the wee, wee hour
Your mind gets hazy
Radio relay towers
Lead me to my baby
The radio's jammed up
With talk show stations
It's just talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk
Until you lose your patience

Mister state trooper
Please don't stop me

Everybody out there
Listen to my last prayer
Hiho, silver-o
Dliver me from nowhere
