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 "Lousiana 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 wanna two-step, you say ya wanna do-ce-do Well, here's your 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 "Lousiana 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
