Strum
D-DU-UDU
 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
  CHORUS
  Eighteen  wheels  and a dozen roses
  Ten more miles  on his four  day run
  A few more songs  on the all night radio
  And he'll spend  the rest if his life  with the one  that he loves
  They'll buy  a Winnebago
  Set out  to find America
  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
