18 Wheels And A Dozen Roses Tab

by 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


         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
