G] He was headin' into Boston in a [C] big, long Diesel truck
It was [D7] his first trip to Boston, he was [G] having lots of luck
He was going the wrong direction down a one-[C] way street in town
And [D7] this is what he said when the police chased him [G] down.
CHORUS
[G] Give me forty acres and I'll [C] turn this rig around
It's the [D7] easiest way that I've [G] found ... [D7]
Some [G] guys can turn it on a dime or [C] turn it right downtown
But [D7] I need forty acres to turn this rig a-[G] round.
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
Oh, give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around
