State Trooper Songtext
von The Blackeyed Susans

New Jersey turnpike
Ridin′ on a wet night
Beneath the refinery's glow
Down where the deep black river flows
License, registration
I ain′t
Got none
But I've got a clear conscience
'Bout all those little
Things that I′ve done

Mister state trooper
Please don′t you stop me
Please don't you stop me
Please don′t you stop me


Well, maybe you've
Got a kid
Maybe you′ve got yourself a pretty wife
Well, the only
Thing that I got
Well, it's been botherin′ me all my life
Mister

State trooper
Please don't you stop me
Please don't you stop me
Please don′t you stop me

In the weary hours
Your mind gets hazy
Radio
Relay towers
Lead me to my baby
The radio′s jammed up
With talk show
Stations
They just talk, talk, talk, talk
Now I'm losin′ my patience

Mister state trooper
Please don't you stop me
Please
Don′t you stop me
Please don't you stop me


Hey
Somebody out there
Listen to my last prayer
Hi-ho
Silver road
Deliver me, deliver me
Deliver me from nowhere
