Late In the Evening

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 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 alright, 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 and everybody just seemed to move And I turned my amp up loud and began to play And it was late in the evening And I blew that room away 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'd been on the floor But I never loved no one the way I loved you And it was late in the evening And all the music seeping through
