State Trooper Songtext
von Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

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 you stop me
Please don't you stop me

In the wee-wee hours
Your mind gets hazy
Radio relay towers
Gon' lead me to my baby
The 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

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