Taken from the album Nebraska (1982)

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 bothering 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
Hi ho silver-o deliver me from nowhere


Hey, somebody out there, listen to my last prayer
Hi, Ho, silver oh, deliver me from nowhere
