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 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 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 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 cowbtoy 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-doe

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 bow for 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 bow for faded love

And let's all dance

If we're gonna play in Texas

We gotta have a fiddle in the band
