Late in the Evening

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 comin' 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
 The next thing I remember, I am walking down the street
 I'm feeling alright, I'm with my boys, I'm with my troops, yeah
 And down along the avenue, some guys were shootin' 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
 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 and 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'm gonna get that girl no matter what I do"
 Well, I guess I'd been in love before and once or twice I'd been on the floor
 But I never loved no one the way I loved you
 And it was late in the evening
 And all the music seeping through
