[Verse 1]
Charlie's got a gold watch
Don't seem like a whole lot
After thirty years of driving
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 counting the days

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
They'll buy a Winnebago
Set out to find America
They'll do a lot of catching up
A little at a time
With pieces of the old dream
They're gonna light the old flame
Doing what they please
Leaving every other reason behind
[Chorus]
