Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses
Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses: Journey of Love and Freedom
Lyrics
Charlie's got a gold watch
Charlie has a gold watch.
Don't seem like a whole lot
The gold watch doesn't hold much significance.
After thirty years of drivin'
After thirty years of driving.
Up and down the interstate
Driving up and down the interstate.
But Charlie's had a good life
Charlie has had a good life.
And Charlie's got a good wife
Charlie has a good wife.
And after tonight she'll no longer
After tonight, she won't count the days anymore.
Be countin' the days
Charlie's wife won't count the days after tonight.
Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses
Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses symbolize a trucker's life and love.
Ten more miles on his four day run
Ten more miles on his four-day run, continuing the journey.
A few more songs on the all night radio
Listening to a few more songs on the all-night radio.
And he'll spend the rest of his life
Charlie will spend the rest of his life with the one he loves.
With the one that he loves
Emphasizing commitment to a loved one.
They'll buy a Winnebago
Planning to buy a Winnebago for a journey to discover America.
All set out to find America
The Winnebago trip is about catching up with life.
Do a lotta catchin' up
Catching up a little at a time.
A little at a time
Incremental progress in realizing old dreams.
With pieces of the old dream
Pieces of the old dream will be part of the journey.
They're gonna light the old flame
They will rekindle an old flame during the journey.
Doin' what they please
Doing what they please during the journey.
Leavin' every other reason behind
Leaving behind every other reason for the journey.
Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses
Reiteration of the trucker's life with eighteen wheels and roses.
Ten more miles on his four day run
Ten more miles on his four-day run, the journey continues.
A few more songs on the all night radio
Listening to a few more songs on the all-night radio.
And he'll spend the rest of his life
Reaffirmation of spending life with the one he loves.
With the one that he loves
Emphasizing commitment and love.
Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses
Repetition of the trucker's life and love theme.
Ten more miles on his four day run
Ten more miles on his four-day run, the ongoing journey.
A few more songs on the all night radio
Listening to a few more songs on the all-night radio.
And he'll spend the rest of his life
Reiteration of spending the rest of life with the loved one.
With the one that he loves
Final affirmation of lifelong commitment and love.
