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
Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses Ten more miles on his four day run A few more songs from the all night radio Then he'll spend the rest of his life with the one that he loves
They'll buy a Winnebago, set out to find America They'll do a lot of 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 from the all night radio Then he'll spend the rest of his life with the one that he loves (Repeat)
