Late in the evening lyrics

Artist  : Paul simon 
Song : Late in the evening
 
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 
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 all right 
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 
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 
 
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 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
