[Verse 1]
D                           G
Charlie's got a gold watch. Don't seem like a whole lot.
      A7                             G                    D
After thirty years of drivin' up and down the interstate.
D                                 G                        
But Charlie's had a good life and Charlie's got a good wife 
    Em                      G                      A7
and after tonight she'll no longer be countin' the days.

[Chorus]
         G                  D               Bm    E               A7
Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses. Ten more miles on his four day run.
           G                      Bm     G  
A few more songs on the all night radio    
          D          Bm         G             A7          D
And he'll spend the rest if his life with the one that he loves. 

[Verse 2]
D                        G
They'll buy a Winnebago, set out to find America. 
A7                  G                D
Do a lotta catchin' up a little at a time.
D                             G
With pieces of the old dream, they're gonna light the old flame.
Em                            G                    A7
Doin' what they please leavin all the other reason behind.

[Chorus]
         G                  D               Bm    E               A7
