New Yersey 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...

Maybe you got a kid maybe you got a pretty wife, the only thing that I got´s been botherin´ me my whole life
Mister state trooper 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 till you lose your patience
Mister state trooper please don´t stop me

Hey somebody out there, listen to my last prayer
Hi ho silver-o deliver me from nowhere
