The New Jersey Turnpike, ridin' on a wet night 'neath the refinery's glow
Out where the bleak rivers flow
License, registration, I ain't got none
I got a clear conscience about the things that I've 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 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
Relay towers lead me to my baby
Radio jammed up with talk show stations
It's talk, talk, talk, until you lose your patience
Mister state trooper, please don't stop me
Please don't stop me, please don't stop me

Hey, somebody out there, listen to my last prayer
Hiho silver, deliver me from nowhere
