《Forty Acres》歌词

[00:00:00] Forty Acres - Boxcar Willie

[00:00:09] He was headin' into beantown in a big long diesel truck

[00:00:13] It was his first trip to Boston he was having all bad luck

[00:00:17] He was going the wrong direction down a one-way street in town

[00:00:20] And this is what he said when the police chased him down

[00:00:25] "Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around

[00:00:29] "Give me forty acres it's the easiest way I've found

[00:00:33] "Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown

[00:00:37] "But I need forty acres to turn this rig around

[00:00:41] When he finally found where to unload he had a dreadful shock

[00:00:47] His trailer pointed toward the road and his cab right to the dock

[00:00:51] And as he looked around him

[00:00:53] Through the tears he made this sound:

[00:00:55] "Well give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around

[00:01:00] "Well give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around

[00:01:04] "Give me forty acres it's the easiest way I've found

[00:01:08] "Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown

[00:01:12] "But I need forty acres to turn this rig around

[00:01:34] When he finally got unloaded he was glad to leave the town

[00:01:38] He was very very happy goin' back to Alabam'

[00:01:42] When up ahead he saw a sign that said: "You're Northward bound

[00:01:46] " He said: "Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around

[00:01:51] He said: "Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around

[00:01:55] "Give me forty acres it's the easiest way I've found

[00:02:00] "Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown

[00:02:04] "But I need forty acres to turn this rig around"

[00:02:09] He was driving down the right lane when ahead he saw a sign

[00:02:13] He had to make a left turn but he cannot get in line

[00:02:17] Now the tears came streaming down his cheeks

[00:02:19] And everybody heard him yell:

[00:02:21] "Give me forty sticks of dynamite and I'll blow this thing to

[00:02:25] "Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around

[00:02:28] "Give me forty acres it's the easiest way I've found

[00:02:32] "Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown

[00:02:36] "But I need forty acres to turn this rig around"

[00:02:42] "Yeah give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around

[00:02:46] "Give me forty acres it's the easiest way I've found

[00:02:50] "Now if you can turn it on a dime or turn it way downtown

[00:02:54] "But I need forty acres to turn this rig around"

[00:03:01] Yeah it takes me forty acres to turn this thing around

[00:03:04] Better make that fifty acres

[00:03:07] Well maybe I can turn when I get to Kansas
