me
Come on in baby, cover me
Well I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and
cover me


Now promise me baby you won't let them find us
Hold me in your arms, let's let our love blind us cover
me
Shut the door and cover me
Well I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and
cover me hey

Outside's the rain, the driving snow
I can hear the wild wind blowing
Turn out the light, bolt the door
I ain't going out there no more


This whole world is out there just trying to score
I've seen enough I don't want to see any more, cover
me
Come on in and cover me
I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover
me

Outside's the rain, the driving snow
I can hear the wild wind blowing
Turn out the light, bolt the door
I ain't going out there no more

This whole world is out there just trying to score
I've seen enough I don't want to see any more, cover
me
Wrap your arms around me, cover me
Well I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and
cover me
Oh, I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and
cover me
Yeah, I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and
cover me (to fade out)

Lyric

New Jersey Turnpike
Riding on a wet night
Beneath the refinery's glow
Out where the great black rivers flow
License, registration
I ain't got none
But I got a clear conscience
About 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've got a kid
Maybe you've got a pretty wife
The only thing that I got's
Been bothering 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
Just talk, talk, talk, talk
'Till you lose your patience

Mister state trooper, please don't stop me
Please don't stop me, please don't stop me

Anybody out there
Listen to my last prayer
Hi-ho silver
Deliver me from nowhere
