State Trooper Lyrics - Steve Earle

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... 

Maybe you got a kid maybe you got a pretty wife, the only thing that I got's been botherin' me my whole life 

Mister state trooper please don't stop me 

In the wee, wee hours your mind get hazy, radio relay towers lead me to my baby 

Radio's jammed up with talk show stations 

It's just talk, talk till you lose your patience 

Mister state trooper please don't stop me
