Lyrics
[Verse 1]
First thing I remember
I was lyin' in my bed
Couldn't of been no more than one or two
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 all the music's seepin' through
[Verse 2]
The next thing I remember
I am walkin' down the street
I'm feelin' alright, I'm with my boys, I'm with my troops, yeah
Down along the avenue, some guys were shootin' pool
And I heard the sound of a cappella groups, yeah
Singin' 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 began to play
And it was late in the evening
And I blew that room away
[Verse 4]
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 seepin' through
[Verse 5]
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 seepin' through
