Album: One Trick Pony
Song: Late In The Evening

the first thing i remember, i was lying in my bed
I couldn't've been no more than one or two
And i remember there's a radio, coming from the room next door
My mother laughed the way some ladies' do

Well it's late in the evening, and the music's seeping through

The next thing i remember, i am walking down a street
I'm feeling alright i'm with my boys and with my troops, yeah
Down along the avenue some guys are shootin' pool
And i heard the sound of acapella groups, yeah

Singin' 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
When i come back to the room, everybody just seemed to move
And i turned my amp up loud and i began to play

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 wanna get that girl, no 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 evening, and all the music's seeping through
