[Verse]
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
