New Jersey Turnpikes
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
About 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 botherin' 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
Wanna lead me to my baby

The 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
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop me (Yeah)

Hey!
somebody out there,
Listen to my last prayer
Hi ho silver
Deliver me from nowhere
