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, 
'Til 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
