Eightenn 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 & DOWN THE INTERSTATE
BUT CHARLIE'S HAD A GOOD LIFE & 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 ON THE ALL-NIGHT RADIO
AND HE'LL SPEND THE REST OF HIS NIGHTS
WITH THE ONE THAT HE LOVES

THEY'LL BUY A WINNEBAGO, SET OUT TO FIND AMERICA
DO ALOT OF CATCHIN' UP A LITTLE AT TIME
WITH PIECES OF THE OLD DREAM
THEY'RE GONNA LIGHT THE OLD FLAME
DOIN' WHAT THEY PLEASE LEAVIN' EVERY OTHER REASON BEHIND

(CHORUS)

(8 mm break)

(CHORUS)
