State Trooper

State Trooper
(Bruce Springsteen)

New Jersey Turnpike ridin on a wet night
Neath the refinery’s glow out where the great back river flows
License registration I ain’t got none
But I got a clear conscience about the things that I’ve done

I said Mr. State Trooper please don’t stop me
Please don’t stop me, please don’t stop me
Ohhhhhh oooooooo
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Maybe you got a kid maybe you got a pretty wife
The only thing that I’ve got has been bothering me my whole life
And the radio’s jammed up with talk show stations
It’s just talk talk talk talk till you loose your patience

I said Mr. State Trooper please don’t stop me
Please don’t stop me, please don’t stop me
Ohhhhh ooooooooo
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

In the wee wee hours your mind gets hazy
Radio relay towers lead me to my baby
And the radio’s jammed up with talk show stations
It’s just talk talk talk talk till you loose your patience

I said Mr. State Trooper please don’t stop me
Please don’t stop me, please don’t stop me
Ohhhhh ooooooooo
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I said Mr. State Trooper please don’t stop me
Please don’t stop me, please don’t stop me
