[Verse 1]
Charlie s got a gold watch
Don t seem like a whole lot
After thirty years of drivin
Up and down the interstate
But Charlie s had a good life
And Charlie s got a good wife
And after tonight she ll no longer be countin the days
[Chorus]
Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses
Ten more miles on his four day run
A few more songs on the all night radio
And he ll spend the rest if his life with the one that he loves
[Verse 2]
They ll buy a Winnebago
Set out to find America
Do a lotta catchin up
A little at a time
With pieces of the old dream
They re gonna light the old flame
Doin what they please
Leavin every other reason behind
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses
Ten more miles on his four day run
A few more songs on the all night radio
And he ll spend the rest if his life with the one that he loves
