         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 
          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)
