Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses
Kathy Mattea

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

         (Repeat CHORUS)

         (Instrumental)  Dmaj7 - Bm - D - E

         (Repeat CHORUS)
