Bruce Springsteen Nebraska Album

6.State Trooper

Lyrics:Bruce Springsteen
Music:Bruce Springsteen

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 stop me, please don't stop me

In the wee wee hours your mind gets hazy, radio relay towers
lead me to my baby
Radio's jammed up with talk show stations
It's just talk, talk, talk, talk, till you lose your patience
Mister state trooper, please don't stop me

Hey, somebody out there, listen to my last prayer
Hiho silver-o, deliver me from nowhere
