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


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


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


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
