Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses Lyrics

by Kathy Mattea

Charlie ‘s got a gold watch
it 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 counting the days

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

He'll buy a Winnebago
set out to find America
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
