Forty Acres

He was headin' into Beantown in a big long diesel truck It was his first trip to Boston he was having all bad luck He was going the wrong direction down a one-way street in town And this is what he said when the police chased him down Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around Give me forty acres it's the easiest way 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 to the dock And as he looked around him through the tears he made this sound Well give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around Give me forty acres it's the easiest way 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 got unloaded he was glad to leave the town He was very very happy goin' back to Alabam' When up ahead he saw a sign that said you're northward bound He said give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around Give me forty acres it's the easiest way 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 driving down the right lane when ahead he saw a sign He had to make a left turn but could not get in line Now the tears came streaming down his cheeks and everybody heard him yell Give me forty sticks of dynamite and I'll blow this thing to ...
