If you`re gonna play in texas (you gotta have a fiddle in the band)
(dan mitchell/murray kellum)
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
You say y`all all wanna two-step
You say ya 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
