Late In The Evening Lyrics - The Essential Paul Simon - Paul Simon

First thing I remember 

I was lying in my bed 

Couldn't've 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

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 twiceI'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 seeping through
