In The Evening - Joe Williams

First thing I remember I was lying in my bed

Couldn't've been no more than or one two

And I remember there's a radio

Coming from the room next door

While my mother laughed the way some ladies do

Well it was late in the evening and all the music seepin' through

Next thing I remember I am walking down the street

Feelin' all right with my boys and with my troops yeah

Down along the avenue some guys were shooting pool and I

Heard the sound of a cappella blues 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 and smoked myself a j

When I come back to the room everybody just seemed to move

And I turned my amp up loud and 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

Said I'm gonna get that girl no matter what I do

Well I guess I've been in love before

And once or twice been on the floor

But I never loved no one the way that I love you

And it was late in the evening and all the music seepin' through
