Cowboy Junkies - State Trooper Lyrics
New Jersey Turnpike
Riding on a wet night
'neath the refinery's glow
Down where the great black river flow
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
The only thing that I got's
Been bugging me my whole life
Mister State Trooper
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop me
Please don't ya stop me
Well, in the wee wee hours
Your mind gets hazy
Radio relay towers
Gonna lead me to my baby
Radio's jammed up
with talk show stations
It's just talk, talk, talk, talk
'til you lose your patience
Mister State Trooper
Please don't stop me
Please don't stop me
Please don't ya stop me
Hey, somebody out there
Listen to my last prayer,
Heigh-ho Silver oh,
Deliver me from nowhere

Cowboy Junkies State Trooper Comments
Esta buena canción la compuso BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN y la canto en el año 1982 y la versionaron COWBOY JUNKIES en el año 1986
There is a nasty digital hit around 3:15 in the right channel.
Rock lyrics do not get better than this. It's poetry.
This song was written by Springsteen not Steve Earle. Also, this album is their first and was released in 1986 in Canada only if i remember correctly, but later reissued worldwide after the success of The Trinity Sessions.
ACTUALLY, Springsteen wrote it. Steve Earle, among many others, covers it.
Actually, Sprinsteen covered this- it's a Steve Earle song.
This hunts me, almost as much as "Sweet Jane" does. Thanks to the WZEW DJ who clued me in to the band's name, so I could explore them for myself.
This haunts me. Almost as much as Sweet Jane. Thnks to the WZEW jock who cued me in th the band's name.
