LATE IN THE EVENING

The first thing I remember
I was lying in my bed
I couldn't have been no more
Than one or two

And I remember there's a radio
Coming from the room next door
My mother laughed
The way some ladies do

Well, it's late in the evening
And all the music's seeping through

The next thing I remember
I am walking down a street
I'm feeling alright with my boys
And with my troops, yeah

Down along the avenue
Some guys are shootin' pool
And I heard the sound
Of Acappella groups, yeah

Singin' late in the evening
And all the girls out on the stoops, yeah

Then I remember playin' some lead guitar
I was underage in this funky bar
And I stepped outside
To smoke 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

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 wanna get that girl
No matter what I do"

Well, I guess, I've been in love before
And once or twice, have been on the floor
But I've never loved no one
The way that I love you

And it was late in the evening
And all the music's seeping through

No matter what I do"
