He was headin' into beantown in a big, long diesel truck.<br />It was his first trip to Boston, he was having all bad luck.<br />He was going the wrong direction down a one-way street in town,<br />And this is what he said when the police chased him down. <br /><br />"Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around.<br />"Give me forty acres, it's the easiest way I've found.<br />"Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown,<br />"But I need forty acres to turn this rig around." <br /><br />When he finally found where to unload, he had a dreadful shock.<br />His trailer pointed toward the road and his cab right to the dock.<br />And as he looked around him, through the tears he made this sound:<br />"Well, give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around. <br /><br />"Well, give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around.<br />"Give me forty acres, it's the easiest way I've found.<br />"Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown,<br />"But I need forty acres to turn this rig around." <br /><br />Instrumental break. <br /><br />When he finally got unloaded, he was glad to leave the town.<br />He was very, very happy, goin' back to Alabam'.<br />When up ahead he saw a sign that said: "You're Northward bound."<br />He said: "Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around." <br /><br />He said: "Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around.<br />"Give me forty acres, it's the easiest way I've found.<br />"Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown,<br />"But I need forty acres to turn this rig around." <br /><br />He was driving down the right lane, when ahead he saw a sign.<br />He had to make a left turn, but he cannot get in line.<br />Now the tears came streaming down his cheeks and everybody heard him yell:<br />"Give me forty sticks of dynamite and I'll blow this thing to ... <br /><br />"Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around.<br />"Give me forty acres, it's the easiest way I've found.<br />"Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown,<br />"But I need forty acres to turn this rig around." <br /><br />"Yeah, give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around.<br />"Give me forty acres, it's the easiest way I've found.<br />"Now if you can turn it on a dime or turn it way downtown,<br />"But I need forty acres to turn this rig around." <br /><br />Yeah, it takes me forty acres, to turn this thing around.<br />Better make that fifty acres.<br />Well, maybe I can turn when I get to Kansas.<br />Better make that Texas.<br />Heck, I can make it all the way back to Birmingham.<br />Cleveland?<br />How'd I get to Cleveland? <br /><br />To fade.
