Kathy Mattea - 18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses lyrics

[Verse 1] Charlie's got a gold watch Don't seem like a whole lot After thirty years of driving 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 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 [Verse 2] They'll buy a Winnebago Set out to find America They'll 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]
