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
 Saying, "Y'all, all, wanna two-step"
 You say you wanna doe-si-doe
 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 "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
