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 manSo 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 bandI remember down in Houston
We were puttin' on a show
When a cowboy in the back stood up
And yelled cotton eyed joeHe 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 manSo 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 bandSo we dusted off our boots
And put our cowbtoy hats on straight
Them Texans raised the roof
When Jeff opened up his caseSay y'all all want to two-step
Say you wanna do-ce-doe
Well, here's a fiddling song before we goIf we're gonna play in Texas
We gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot
But not for a Louisiana manSo 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 bandIf we're gonna play in Texas
We gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot
But not for a Louisiana manSo 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
