Lynyrd Skynyrd - Berneice lyrics

(Dennis E Sumner -- Gary Rossington -- Johnny VanZant -- Rickey Medlocke -- Hughie Thomasson)

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
