The first thing I remember I was lying In my bed I couldn´t of been no more Than one or two I remember there´s a radio
Comin´ from the room next door And my mother laughed The way some ladies do When it´s late in the evening And the music s seeping through
The next thing I remember I am walking down the street I´m feeling all right I´m with my boys I´m with my troops, yeah And down along the avenue Some guys were shootin pool And I heard the sound Of a cappella groups, 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 to smoke myself a "J" And when I came back to the room Everybody just seemed to move And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play And it was late in the evening And I blew that room away The first thing I remember When you came into my life I said I´m gonna get that girl No matter what I do Well I guess I´d been in love before And once or twice I been on the floor But I never loved no one The way that I loved you
And it was late in the evening And all the music seeping through
