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 "Give me 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 to the dock And as he looked around him, through his tears, he made this sound "Oh, give me forty acres, and I'll turn this rig around" Give me 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 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 said "You are 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 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 And he had to make a left turn, but he could not get in line And the tears were streamin' down his cheeks, and they all heard him yell "Give me forty sticks of dynamite; I'll blow this thing to," Give me 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
