STATE TROOPER

Lyrics By Bruce Springsteen

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

Hiho silver-o, deliver me from nowhere
