28. State Trooper

Este es uno de los temas  más ambigüos del álbum, porqué no sabemos de quién se trata., si de un indeseable criminal que huye a la gran ciudad, de algún adolescente indocumentado, o de quién.
En cualquier caso, éste anónimo personaje pide "por favor que nadie le detenga"

Nuevamente Bruce introduce el tema de la huida, del vacío y la redención


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 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 get hazy
Radio relay towers lead me to my baby
The 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
Hiho silver-o, deliver me from nowhere
