He was headed 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
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
As he looked around him
Through his tears he made this sound
"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"
I say 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 just turn it right downtown
But I need forty acres
To turn this rig around
He was driving down the right lane
When up ahead he saw a sign
He had to make a left turn
But could not get in the line
And the tears came streaming down his cheek
And everybody heard him yell
"Give me forty sticks of dynamite
And 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
I say 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 just turn it right downtown
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
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
As he looked around him
Through his tears he made this sound
"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

He said "Give me forty acres
And I'll turn this rig around"
I say give me forty acres
And I'll turn this rig around

Or just turn it right downtown
But I need forty acres
To turn this rig around

To turn this rig around
I say 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 just turn it right downtown
