I just had to call, cause babe I got your letter
And I understood almost every line
You said T. L. C. is what you miss from me
You want back in my arms P.D.Q.
And ooh I love this game
Them three letters by your name L.O.A. what does that say?

She said ooh baby it's so simple
I did not mean to make it hard to understand
I've been gone so long
Want you to know I miss my man oh yes I do
And that message for you
Tells you what I'm gonna do when I get home oh yeah

(Chorus)
L.O.A. (Love on arrival)
For you (Love on arrival)
L.O.A. is what I'm gonna give to you
I've been countin' the days
I've been lonely, I've been blue (Love on arrival)
For you (Love on arrival)
And now after all this time
I've got nothing on my mind but L.O.A. (Love on arrival)
For you.

I said ooh baby I do love you
And I'm always amazed the way we fit
And I T.G.I.F.
Thank God I found you when I did, oh yes I do
Them three letters by your name
I will just give you just the same
When you get home, oh yes I will

(repeat chorus)

(Bridge)
I don't need no confirmation
I get it right here in my land
Don't need no translation
You done spelled it out with words
That I can understand L.O.A.
ooh ooh ooh, L.O.A.

(repeat chorus)

And now after all this time
I've got nothing on my mind but L.O.A. (Love on arrival)

I came from a town that was so small
You look both ways, you could see it all
All I wanted was some way out
Every evening I'd slip into town

And stand around by the caution light
And watch the big trucks rolling by
For me it was a beautiful sight
Big wheels in the moonlight

I had a case of wanderlust
I'd lie awake with the windows up
Out on Highway Fifty Nine
I could hear some big old diesel whine

She was going through all the gears
And headed out to who knows where
I fell asleep 'most every night
Dreaming about big wheels in the moonlight

And I want to put my life on the centerline
And I want to see the world before I die
And I know that there's a peace I'll never find
'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind

How I got here, it's hard to say
So many things got in my way
Can't complain about all I've got
Kids and a wife and a regular job

But at night when I'm sitting here
All alone in a living room chair
Sometimes I close my eyes
And see big wheels in the moonlight

And I want to put my life on the centerline
And I want to see the world before I die
And I know that there's a peace I'll never find
'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind

And I want to put my life on the centerline
And I want to see the world before I die
And I know that there's a peace I'll never find
'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind

'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind

C'mon and let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here 'till we soothe our soul
If it takes all night long
Yeah, c'mon and let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here 'till we soothe our soul
If it takes all night long

I could tell ya....

The evening sun is sinkin' low
The clock on the wall says it's time to go
I've got my plans, I don't know about you
I tell you exactly what I'm gonna do

Get in the groove and let the good times roll
I'm gonna stay here 'till I soothe my soul
If it takes all night long
Yeah, everybody let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here 'till we soothe our soul
If it takes all night long

Yeah, it might be one o'clock, it might be three
Time don't mean that much to me
I ain't felt this good since I don't know when
I might not feel this good again

So everybody let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here 'till we soothe our soul
If it takes all night long

All night, all night
And all night, and all night long
Somebody said it might take all night long
And all night, all night long

(sax instrumental)

So c'mon and let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here 'till we soothe our souls
If it takes all night long, yeah.
So everybody let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here 'till we soothe our souls
If it takes all night long.

And all night, and all night
And all night, all night long
Somebody said it might take all night long
And all night, all night long

I always thought you were the best
I guess I always will.
I always thought that we were blessed
And I feel that way still.
Sometimes we took the hard road
But we always saw it through.

If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you.

Sometimes the world was on our side
Sometimes it wasn't fair.
Sometimes it gave a helping hand
Sometimes we didn't care.

'Cause when we were together
It made the dream come true.

If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you.

Someone who understands me
And knows me inside out.
Helps keep me together
And believes without a doubt,
That I could move a mountain
Someone to tell it to.

If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you.

Someone
And knows me inside out.
Helps keep me together
And believes without a doubt,
That I could move a mountain
Someone to tell it to.

If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you.

Put on your bobby socks baby
Roll up your old blue jeans
There's a band playing down at the armory
That's what rock and roll really means

I wanna to ride in your 55 T-bird
Drive thru some old memories
I ain't after your body baby
I just want you to dance with me

I wanna bop with you baby all night long
I wanna bop the night away
I wanna make it a night like it use to be
When our hearts were young
And our souls were free
I wanna bop with you baby all night long
I wanna be-bop baby til the break of dawn
I wanna bop with you baby all night long

I got an old photograph in my pocket
We were still in our teens
Lord, knows I feel a lot older now
But you still look the same to me

Honey, you don't ever laugh like you use to
And I don't wanna see you blue
If you may busy tonight and ya think it's all right
This is what I wanna do

I wanna bop with you baby all night long
I wanna bop the night away
I wanna make it a night like it use to be
Oh when our hearts so young and free
I wanna bop with you baby all night long
I wanna be-bop baby til the break of dawn
I wanna bop with you baby all night long

Lets twist and shout
Oh, Just like in the good old days
Baby, watch out
You know I just can't stand it
When you look at me that way

I wanna bop with you baby all night long
I wanna be-bop baby til the break of dawn
I wanna bop with you baby all night
I wanna bop with you baby all night long
I wanna be-bop baby til the break of dawn
I wanna make it a night like it use to be
When our hearts were young
And our souls were free

I wanna bop with you baby all night long
I wanna be-bop baby til the break of dawn
I wanna make it a night like it use to be
When our hearts were young and free

His old hands were brown
from the varnish and the stain
And I had come to talk
in my youth and in my pain
I told him that I was not
the man I want to be
I waited to see what he would say

But he just kept on working
as if I wasn't there
The sweat on his face
and dust in his hair
He paused for a moment
when I'd been there for a while
He wiped his brow - I thought I saw him smile

(Chorus)
He just said , "Wood,
From the earth beneath our feet there grows a tree
And we can take it, shape it, to what's it's meant to be
The stronger the fiber, the better for the good
Son, I believe that men are just like wood."

I handed him a timber
and he laid it on the bench
I watched the love and care he took
to measure every inch
the work it got harder
when he cut across the grain
but he just put more shoulder to the plane

I sat there beside him
as he carved out every line
He made a thing of beauty
from a rough 'ol piece of pine
He seem to have the vision
of what the end would be
I felt as if some pieces had been taken out of me

(repeat chorus)

I left a little taller
wiser, and free
I learned the use of tools
for the carpenter in me
I don't have all the answers
but one thing I have have found
We are the choices that we make
when the chips are down, wood.

He said, "The stronger the fiber, the better for the good
Son, I believe that men are just like wood."
