I can still remember I was eight years old 

The first time that I picked her up little did I know 

She's taken me to places that I've never been 

Did my first gig in a rock-n-roll band 

Berneice, sweet Berneice



Get a real job let the guitar go 

There ain't no future in this rock-n-roll 

So go for your guitars, go for your guns 

Better think twice it's three against one 

Take your best shot it's a showdown now 

Berneice, sweet Berneice 

Oh, Berneice won't you play for me





A guitar woman needs a guitar man 

One without the other, neither one of them can stand 

Remember where we came from we can do it all again 

So thanks to all you people, give youselves a hand 

Berneice, sweet Berneice 

Berneice, won't you play for me
