A
New Jersey Turnpike, ridin' on a wet night 
  D                                       A
`neath the refin'ry's glow out where the great black rivers flow
D
License, registration: I ain't got none
                                       A
But I got a clear conscience `bout the things that I done
D
Mister state trooper, please don't stop me
                      A
Please don't stop me, please don't stop me

D
Maybe you got a kid, maybe you got a pretty wife
                                                A
The only thing that I got's been both'rin' me my whole life
D
Mister state trooper, please don't stop me
                          A
Please don't stop me, please don't stop me

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

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

Oooooh

*During the Insturmentals he plays D-G-A.
