Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses    (1987)

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 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.

Lyrics by Gene Nelson and Paul Nelson.
Recorded by Kathy Mattea.
