(Paul Nelson/Gene Nelson)
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
Then 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 lot of 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
Then he`ll spend the rest of his life
With the one that he loves
