New Jersey Turnpike ridin' on a wet night 'neath the refinery's glow, out where

the great black rivers flow

License, registration, I ain't got none but I got a clear conscience

'Bout 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 got's

been both'rin' me 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 hours your mind gets hazy, radio relay towers lead me to my baby

Radio's jammed up with talk show stations

It's just talk, talk, talk, talk, till you lose your patience

Mister state trooper, please don't stop me



Hey, somebody out there, listen to my last prayer
