A
         Charlie's got a gold watch
          Dmaj7
         Don't seem like a whole lot
                 E
         After thirty years of drivin'
          D                         A
         Up and down the interstate
                A
         But Charlie's had a good life
               Dmaj7
         And Charlie's got a good wife
              Bm                       D                     E
         And after tonight she'll no longer be countin' the days


         CHORUS
            E        D                  A
         Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses
                   F#m          B        E
         Ten more miles on his four day run
                      D                     F#m    D
         A few more songs on the all night radio
                     A                    D             E            A
         And he'll spend the rest if his life with the one that he loves


                  A
         They'll buy a Winnebago
              Dmaj7
         Set out to find America
          E                   D
         Do a lotta catchin' up
                        A
         A little at a time

         With pieces of the old dream
                  Dmaj7
         They're gonna light the old flame
          Bm
         Doin' what they please
                  D                  E
         Leavin every other reason behind

         -----Instrumental-----

         -----Chorus Again-----
