“Jamming gears has got to be a fever
‘Cause men become addicted to the grind
It takes a special breed to be a truck-driving man
And a steady hand to pull that load behind…”
It was his first trip to Boston in a big long disel 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
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
