  • 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
    And 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 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

    Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses
    Ten more miles on his four day run
    A few more songs from the all night radio
    And 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
    And he'll spend the rest of his life
    With the one that he loves Writer/s: Gene Nelson, Paul Nelson
