Give Me 40 Acres (To Turn This Rig Around) Lyrics

He was heading into Boston in a big, long diesel truck

It was his first trip to Boston, he was having lots of 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

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 going 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 driving 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 streaming down his cheeks and they all heard him yell

"Give me forty sticks of dynamite, I'll blow this thing tonight"

"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
