Am
New Jersey Turnpike, ridin' on a wet night
D Am
`neath the refin'ry's glow out where the great black rivers flow
License, registration: I ain't got none
D Am
But I got a clear conscience `bout the things that I done
Mister state trooper, please don't stop me
D Am
Please don't stop me, please don't stop me
Maybe you got a kid, maybe you got a pretty wife
D Am
The only thing that I got's been both'rin' me my whole life
Mister state trooper, please don't stop me
D Am
Please don't stop me, please don't stop me
In the wee, wee hours your mind get hazy
D Am
Radio relay towers lead me to my baby
The radio's jammed up with talk show stations
D Am
It's just talk, talk, talk, talk, till you lose your patience
Mister state trooper, please don't stop me
Am
Oooooh Oooooh
Hey, somebody out there, listen to my last prayer
Hiho silver-o, deliver me from nowhere
Oooooh
