Forty Acres

He was headed into Boston in a big diesel truck
It was his first shift about and he was havin' lots of luck
He was headed the wrong direction down a one way street in town
And this is what he said when the police chased him down

Give me ... acres to 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 give me ... acres to turn this rig around

When he finally found where to unload, he had a dreadful shock
His trailer pointed towards the road, his cab right to the dock
And as he looked around him, through his tears he made this sound
Give me ... acres and I'll turn this rig around

When he finally got unloaded, he was asked 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

Give me ... acres and I'll 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
The tears were streakin' down his cheeks and they all heard him yell
Give me ... sticks of dynamite 'n I'll blow this rig up

Give me 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 ... acres to turn this rig around
Yes, I need ... acres to turn this rig around
