Eighteen Wheels and A Dozen Roses

Charlie ‘s got a gold watch

it 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 counting the days

Chorus

Eighteen Wheels and A dozen roses

Ten more miles on he’s four day run

a few more songs on the all night radio

Then he’ll spend the rest of his life

with the one that he loves

He’ll buy a Winnebago

set out to find America

do a lot of catching up a little at a time

with pieces of the old dream

they’re gonna light the old flame

doing what they please

leaving every other reason behind

Chorus

Instrumental
