New Jersey Turnpike

Riding on a wet night

'neath the refinery's glow

Down where the great black river flow



Licence, 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 bugging me my whole life



Mister State Trooper

Please don't stop me

Please don't stop me

Please don't ya stop me



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



Mister State Trooper

Please don't stop me

Please don't stop me

Please don't ya stop me



Hey, somebody out there

Listen to my last prayer,

Heigh-ho Silver oh,

Deliver me from nowhere
