[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 of his life with the one that he loves.
 
[Verse 2]
They'll buy a Winnebago, all 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.
 
[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 of his life with the one that he loves.
 
 
[End-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 of his life with the one that he loves.
