| Charlie’s got a gold watch
|
| Don’t seem like a whole lot
|
| After thirty years of driving
|
| 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 counting the days
|
| 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 catching up
|
| A little at a time
|
| With pieces of the old dream
|
| They’re gonna light the old flame
|
| Doing what they please
|
| Leaving every other reason behind |
