A5 A Truckload of Art D5 A5 From New York City E5 Came rollin' down the road D5 Yeah the driver was singing A5 And the sunset was pretty But the truck turned over E5 A5 And she rolled off the road D5 Yeah a Truckload of Art A5 is burning near the highway Precious objects are scattered E5 All over the ground D5 And it's a terrible sight A5 If a person were to see it E5 A5 But there weren't nobody around (Yodel) A5 Yeah the driver went sailing D5 A5 High in the sky E5 Landing in the gold lap of the Lord D5 Who smiled and then said A5 "Son, you're better off dead Than haulin' a truckload E5 A5 full of hot avant-garde (chorus) A5 Yes... an important artwork D5 Was thrown burning to the ground A5 E5 Tragically... landing in the weeds D5 And the smoke could be seen A5 Ahhh for miles all around E5 A5 Yeah but nobody... knows what it means D5 Yes... a Truckload of Art A5 Is burning near the highway E5 And it's a tough job for the highway patrol D5 Ahhh they'll soon see the smoke A5 An come runnin' to poke Then dig a deep ditch E5 A5 And throw them arts in a hole (Yodel) D5 Yeah a Truckload of Art A5 Is burning near the highway E5 And it's raging far-out of control D5 And what the critics have cheered A5 Is now shattered and queered And their noble reviews E5 A5 Have been stewed on the road (chorus)
