Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses Songtext
von Kathy Mattea

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
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

Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses
Ten more miles on his four day run
A few more songs from the all night radio
And he′ll spend the rest if 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
And he'll spend the rest if his life
With the one that he loves
