Give Me Forty Acres

Lyrics

He was headin' into Boston in a big, long diesel truck It was his first trip to Boston, he was havin' lots of luck He was goin' the wrong direction down a one-way street in town And this is what he said when the police chased him down Gimme forty acres and I'll turn this rig around It's the easiest way that I've found Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown But I need forty acres to turn this rig around When he finally found where to unload, he had a dreadful shock His trailer pointed toward the road and his cab right for the dock And as he looked around him, through his tears, he made this sound Oh, gimme forty acres and I'll turn this rig around Gimme forty acres and I'll turn this rig around It's thе easiest way that I've found Somе guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown But I need forty acres to turn this rig around When he finally got unloaded, he was glad to leave the town He was very, very happy going back to Alabam' When up ahead he saw a sign, said, You are northward bound He said, Gimme forty acres and I'll turn this rig around Gimme forty acres and I'll turn this rig around It's the easiest way that I've found Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown But I need forty acres to turn this rig around He was drivin' down the right lane, when ahead he saw a sign He had to make a left turn, but he could not get in line And as the tears were streamin' down his cheeks, they all heard him yell Gimme forty sticks of dynamite and I'll blow this thing to- Gimme forty acres and I'll turn this rig around It's the easiest way that I've found Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown But I need forty acres to turn this rig around But I need forty acres to turn this rig around
