Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses


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 her days

Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses
Ten more miles on his four day run
A few more songs from the old night radio
Then he'll spend the rest of his life with the one that he loves

They'll buy a Winnebago
And set out to find America
To do a lot of catching up a little outta time

With pieces of the old dream
They gonna light the old flame
Doing what they please, leaving every other reason behind

Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses
And more miles on his four day run
A few more songs from the old 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 old night radio
Then he'll spend the rest of his life with the one that he loves
