Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses Lyrics

Eignteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses
As preformed by Kathy Mattea
You can try putting the walk from G to Em in there. Sounds good.
I think the G chord on this song sounds best played 3 2 0 0 3 3.
But do what makes you happy
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 from the all-night radio,
Then he'll spend the rest of his life,
With the one that he loves.
They'll buy a Winnebago, set out to find America.
They'll do a lot of 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.
