If you're gonna play in Texas You gotta have a fiddle in the band That lead guitar is hot But not for a Louisiana man So rosen up that both 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 ha ha Joe He said, 'We love what you're doing Boys don't get us wrong There's just something missing 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 a Louisiana man So rosen up that both faded love And let's all dance If you're gonna play in Texas You gotta have a fiddle in the band So he dusted off our boots And put our cowboy hats on straight Them Texans raised the roof When Jeff opened up his case Say y'all all want to two-step Say you wanna do-ce-do Well, here's a fiddling song before we go If we're gonna play in Texas We gotta have a fiddle in the band That lead guitar is hot But not for a Louisiana man So rosen up that both faded love And let's all dance If we're gonna play in Texas We gotta have a fiddle in the band If we're gonna play in Texas We gotta have a fiddle in the band That lead guitar is hot But not for a Louisiana man So rosen up that both faded love And let's all dance If we're gonna play in Texas We gotta have a fiddle in the band
