[01:08.89]First thing I remember I was lying in my bed
[01:12.86]It couldn't've been no more than one or two
[01:18.74]I remember there's a radio comin' from the room next door
[01:23.60]Mama laughed the way some ladies do
[01:27.98]When it was late in the evening
[01:32.53]And the music seeping through
[01:37.95]Next thing I remember I am walking down the street
[01:41.67]Feeling alright I'm with my boys
[01:43.90]I'm with my troops
[01:47.71]Down along the avenue, some guys were shootin' pool
[01:52.30]And I heard the sound of an acapella group
[01:58.19]Singing late in the evening
[02:00.70]And all the girls out on the stoops
[02:06.61]Then I learned to play guitar, underage in the funky bar
[02:10.74]I stepped outside to smoke myself a "J"
[02:17.20]When I came back to the room, everybody seemed to move
[02:21.10]I turned up my amp loud and I began to play
[02:26.80]It was late in the evening and I blew the room away
[02:33.85]
[02:59.84]The first thing I remember when you came into my life
[03:03.54]I said I'm gonna get that girl no matter what I do
[03:09.32]Well I guess I'd been in love before
[03:12.10]And once or twice I been on the floor
[03:14.22]But I never loved no one the way that I loved you
[03:20.37]It was late in the evening
[03:22.75]And the music seeping through
