Lyrics

First thing I remember I was lying in my bed
Couldn't've been no more than one or two
And I remember there's a radio
Coming from the room next door
While my mother laughed the way some ladies do
Well, it was late in the evening, and all the music seepin' through

Next thing I remember, I am walking down the street
Feelin' all right with my boys and with my troops, yeah
Down along the avenue some guys were shooting pool and i
Heard the sound of a cappella blues, yeah
Singing late in the evening, and all the girls out on the stoops, yeah

Then I learned to play some lead guitar, I was underage in this funky bar
And I stepped outside and smoked myself a j
When I come back to the room, everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and began to play
It was late in the evening, and I blew that room away

First thing I remember when you came into my life
Said, I'm gonna get that girl no matter what I do
Well, I guess I've been in love before
And once or twice been on the floor
But I never loved no one the way that I love you
And it was late in the evening, and all the music seepin' through
