Give Me Forty Acres versuri

Versuri Jim & Jesse – Give Me Forty Acres lyrics

He was headin’ into Boston in a big, long diesel truck
It was his first trip to Boston, he was havin’ lots of luck
He was goin’ the wrong direction down a one-way street in town
And this is what he said when the police chased him down

Gimme 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 for the dock
And as he looked around him, through his tears, he made this sound
Oh, gimme forty acres and I’ll turn this rig around

Gimme forty acres and I’ll turn this rig around
It’s thе easiest way that I’ve found
Somе 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, Gimme forty acres and I’ll turn this rig around

Gimme 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

He was drivin’ down the right lane, when ahead he saw a sign
He had to make a left turn, but he could not get in line
And as the tears were streamin’ down his cheeks, they all heard him yell
Gimme forty sticks of dynamite and I’ll blow this thing to-

Gimme 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
But I need forty acres to turn this rig around
