Forty Acres

Boxcar Willie

He was headin' 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, And this is what he said when the police chased him down. "Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around. "Give me forty acres, it's the easiest way 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 the tears he made this sound: "Well, give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around.

"Well, give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around. "Give me forty acres, it's the easiest way 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."

Instrumental break.

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 that said: "You're Northward bound." He said: "Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around."

He said: "Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around. "Give me forty acres, it's the easiest way 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. He had to make a left turn, but he cannot get in line. Now the tears came streaming down his cheeks 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. "Give me forty acres, it's the easiest way 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."

"Yeah, give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around. "Give me forty acres, it's the easiest way I've found. "Now if you can turn it on a dime or turn it way downtown, "But I need forty acres to turn this rig around."

Yeah, it takes me forty acres, to turn this thing around. Better make that fifty acres. Well, maybe I can turn when I get to Kansas. Better make that Texas. Heck, I can make it all the way back to Birmingham. Cleveland? How'd I get to Cleveland?
