Red Simpson - Give Me Forty Acres lyrics

It was his first trip to Boston in a big long diesel truck It was his first trip to Boston he was a havin' lots of luck He was headed the wrong direction down the one way street in town And this is what he said when the police chased him down [Chorus] Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig round It's the easiest way that I found Some guys can turn 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 the 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 the sound Oh give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig round [Chorus] [ guitar ] When he finally got unloaded he was glad to leave that town He was feelin' fairy happy goin' back to Alabam And up ahead he saw a sign said you are northward bound He said give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig round He was drivin' down the right lane when ahead he saw a sign Yet to make the left turn but he could not get in line The tears were streamin' down his cheeks and they all heard him yell Give me forty sticks of dynamite and I'll blow his rig to ...well, [Chorus] [Chorus] Give me forty acres...
