Charlie's got a gold watch, it don't seem like a whole lot.
      A                       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                      A

Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses. Ten more miles on his four day run.

They'll buy a Winnebago, set out to find America.
A                   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                    A
Doin' what they please leavin every other reason behind.
