[Verse 1]
New Jersey Turnpike
Cruisin' on a wet night
Beneath the refinery's glow
Out where the bleak black water flows

[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 ya stop me
Please don't ya stop me
Please don't ya stop me

[Verse 3]
Maybe you got a kid
Maybe you got a pretty wife
Well, the only thing that I got
Has been botherin' me my whole life

[Chorus]
Mister state trooper
Please don't ya stop me
Please don't ya stop me
Please don't stop me
Hey
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Now, in the wee, wee hours
Your mind get hazy
Radio relay towers
Won't you lead me to my baby

[Verse 5]
Now, the radio's jammed up
With talk show stations
It's just talk, talk, talk, talk
'Til you're losin' your patience

[Chorus]
Mister state trooper
Please don't ya stop me
Well, please don't ya stop me
Well, please don't stop me
Huh huh

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 6]
Is anybody out there
Listenin' to my last prayer?
Hi ho, silver-o
Deliver me from nowhere
