First thing I remember I was lying in my bed It couldn't've been no more than one or two I remember there's a radio comin' from the room next door Mama laughed the way some ladies do When it was late in the evening And the music seeping through Next thing I remember I am walking down the street Feeling alright I'm with my boys I'm with my troops Down along the avenue, some guys were shootin' pool And I heard the sound of an acapella group Singing late in the evening And all the girls out on the stoops Then I learned to play guitar, underage in the funky bar I stepped outside to smoke myself a "J" When I came back to the room, everybody seemed to move I turned up my amp loud and I began to play It was late in the evening and I blew the 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 It was late in the evening And the music seeping through
