Charlie's got a gold watch.

and (Dbmaj7)Charlie's got a good wife.

And (Bbm7)after tonight please, she'll no (Db)longer beer countin' the days.

(Eb7)(Cm7)Eighteen (Db)wheels and a dozen (Ab)roses,

ten more (Fm)miles on his (Bb7)four day (Eb7)run.

A (Bbm)few (Cm)more (Db)songs from the all night (Fm)radio,

(Db)then he'll (Ab)spend the rest of his (Db)life with the (Eb)one that he (Ab)loves.

(Db)They'll (Ab)buy a Winnebago,

set to find Amer ica.

af They'll (Eb)do a lot of catchin' up a little at a time.

(Db)With (Ab)pieces of that old dream

they're (Dbmaj7)gonna light the old flame.

And (Bbm7)Doin' what they please, leavin' (Db)ev'ry other reason behind.

(Eb7)(Cm7)Eighteen (Db)wheels and a dozen (Ab)roses,

ten more (Fm)miles on his (Bb7)four day (Eb7)run.

A (Bbm)few (Cm)more (Db)songs from the all night (Fm)radio,
