G  C  G  D

G                  C  
She’s a flower in the desert  
G                     D  
A diamond in the rough  
G                C  
She’s a miracle of nature  
G                  D  
And that’s not quite enough  

G                  C  
She works hard to make a living  
G                     D  
And she loves the life she leads  
G                  C  
But sometimes she feels like giving  
G              D  
Up on all her dreams  

G            C  
18 wheels and a dozen roses  
G                 D  
Ten more miles on this road I’m on  
G              C  
A little bit of money and a whole lot of trouble  
G                   D  
Just to get me through the night  

G             C  
18 wheels and a dozen roses  
G                   D  
A heart that never breaks down  
G                  C  
A little bit of love and a whole lot of hope  
G              D  
Just to make it to the next town
