The first thing I rememberI was lying in my bed
I couldn’t’ve been no more than one or two
And I remember there’s a radiocoming from the room next door
My mother laughed the way some ladies’ do
Well it’s late in the eveningand the music’s seeping through
The next thing I rememberI am walking down a street
I’m feeling alright I’m with my boys and with my troopsyeah
Down along the avenue some guys are shootin’ pool
And I heard the sound of acapella groupsyeah
Singin’ late in the eveningand all the girls out on the stoopsyeah
Then I learned to play some lead guitarI was underage in this funky bar
And I stepped outside to smoke myself a j
When I come back to the roomeverybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play
It was late in the eveningand I blew that room away
First thing I remember when you came into my life
I said I wanna get that girlno 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 eveningand all the music’s seeping through
