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 on the all-night radio
And he'll spend the rest of his life with the one that he loves

They'll buy a Winnebago
All set out to find America
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 on the all-night radio
And 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 on the all-night radio
And he'll spend the rest of his life with the one that he loves
