Kathy Mattea — Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses

G  
Charlie's got a gold watch 
       C  
Don't seem like a whole lot 
       D7  
After thirty years of drivin' 
 C                      G  
Up and down the interstate 
 
 
But Charlie's had a good life 
     C  
And Charlie's got a good wife 
     Am  
And after tonight  
           C                       D7  
She'll no longer be countin' the days 
 
          C                    G  
Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses  
          Em             A7      D7  
Ten more miles on his four day run 
 C                                   Em  C  
 A  few more songs on the all night radio 
           G                       C  
And he'll spend the rest if his life  
          D7            G  
With the one that he loves 
 
They'll buy a Winnebago 
     C  
Set out to find America 
 D7  
Do a lotta catchin' up 
 C               G  
А little at a time 
 
With pieces of the old dream 
         C  
They're gonna light the old flame 
 Am  
Doin' what they please 
         C                    D7  
Leavin' every other reason behind
