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      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
