[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
I remember down in Houston we were puttin' on a show
When a cowboy in the back stood up and yelled "Cotton Eye Joe!"
He said, "We love what you're doing, boys don't get us wrong
There's just something missing in your song"
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 want to two-step, say you wanna do-si-do
Well here's a fiddling song before we go
[Chorus]
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
[Fiddle Bridge]
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Yee-haw!
*tongue roll*
