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 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 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 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 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
