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,
|
Coming from the room next door,
|
While my mother laughed the way some ladies do,
|
Well, it was late in the evening, and all the music seepin' through.
|
|
Next thing I remember, I am walking down the street,
|
Feelin' all right with my boys and with my troops, yeah,
|
Down along the avenue some guys were shooting pool and I
|
Heard the sound of a cappella blues, 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 and smoked myself a J,
|
When I come back to the room, everybody just seemed to move,
|
And I turned my amp up loud and began to play
|
It was late in the evening, and I blew that room away.
|
|
First thing I remember when you came into my life,
|
Said, I'm gonna get that girl no matter what I do,
|
Well, I guess I've been in love before
|
And once or twice been on the floor
|
But I never loved no one the way that I love you,
|
And it was late in the evening, and all the music seepin' through.
