Late In The Evening
The first thing I rememberI was lying in my bedI couldn't have been no more than one or twoI remember there's a radioComing from the room next doorAnd my mother laughed the way some ladies doWhen it's late in the eveningAnd the music's seeping through
The next thing I rememberI am walking down the streetI'm all rightI'm with all my boys, I'm with my troops, yeahAnd down along the avenueSome guys where shooting poolOf a cappella groups, yeahSinging late in the eveningAnd all the girls out on the stoops, yeah
Then I learned to play some lead guitarI was underage in ths funky barAnd I stepped outside to smoke myself a "J"And when I came back to the roomEverybody just seemed to moveAnd I turned my amp up loud and I began to playAnd it was late in the eveningAnd I blew that room away
The first thing I rememberWhen you came into my lifeI said I'm gonna get that girl no matter what I doWell, I guess I'd been in love beforeAnd once or twice I'd been on the floorBut I never loved no one the way that I loved youAnd it was late in the eveningAnd all the music seeping through
