Late In The Evening

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
