[Verse 1]
The first thing I remember
I was lying in my bed
I couldn't of been no more
Than one or two
I remember there's a radio
Coming 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
[Verse 2]
The next thing i remember
I am walking down the street
I'm feeling all right
I'm with my boys
I'm with my troops, yeah
And down along the avenue
Some guys were shooting 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
[Verse 3]
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
Everybody just seemed to move
And i turned my amp up loud and i began
To play
And it was late in the evening
And I blew that room away
[Verse 4]
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
And it was late in the evening
And all the music seeping through
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
And it was late in the evening
And all the music seeping through
