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
