If You're Gonna Play in Texas (You Gotta Have a Fiddle in the Band)

If you're gonna play in Texas

You gotta have a fiddle in the band

That lead guitar is hot

But not for "Louisiana man"

So rosin up that bow for "faded love"

And let's all dance

If you're gonna play in Texas

You gotta have a fiddle in the band

I remember down in Houston

We were puttin' on a show

When a cowboy in the back stood up and yelled

"Cotton-Eyed Joe"

He said, "We love what you're doin'

Boys don't get us wrong

There's just somethin' missin' in your song"

If you're gonna play in Texas

You gotta have a fiddle in the band

That lead guitar is hot

But not for "Louisiana man"

So rosin up that bow for "faded love"

And let's all dance

If you're gonna play in Texas

You gotta have a fiddle in the band

So we dusted off our boots and put our cowboy hats on straight

Them Texans raised the roof when Jeff opened up his case

You say y'all all want to two-step, you say ya want to doe-si-doe

Well, here's a fiddlin' song before we go

If you're gonna play in Texas

You gotta have a fiddle in the band

That lead guitar is hot

But not for "Louisiana man"

So rosin up that bow for "faded love"

And let's all dance

If you're gonna play in Texas,

You gotta have a fiddle in the band

If you're gonna play in Texas

You gotta have a fiddle in the band

That lead guitar is hot

But not for "Louisiana man"

So rosin up that bow for "faded love"

And let's all dance

If you're gonna play in Texas

You gotta have a fiddle in the band
