Kathy Mattea, A Collection Of Hits, Track 06

Charlie's got a gold watch; don't seem like a whole lot
After 30 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 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

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 dreams, they're gonna light the old flame
Doing what they please, leaving 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
