Circle left
Charlie's got a gold watch, don't seem like a whole lot
After thirty years of driving that interstate
Do an allemande left, you dosado
Allemande left and then you weave that ring
Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses
Swing your own and promenade
A few more songs from the all-night band
Then he'll spend the rest of his life with the one he loves
- ALTERNATE LYRICS
*They'll buy a Winnebago, set out to find America
They'll do a lot of catching up a little at a time
- FIGURE Plus, corner progression
Heads promenade go halfway round
Into the middle and square thru go four
Four hands and then, do a right & left thru
Veer to the left and couples circulate
Crossfire, and a walk & dodge
Partner trade, that corner swing and promenade
A few more songs from the all-night band
Then he'll spend the rest of his life with the one he loves

| Lyrics | 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.
