Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses - Kathy Matea

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 


CHORUS 

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 if his life 
with the one that he loves 


They'll buy a Winnebago 
Set out to find America 
Do a lotta 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 

(Repeat CHORUS) 

(Instrumental) 

(Repeat CHORUS)
