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 both 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 ha ha 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 both faded love   And let's all dance   If you're gonna play in Texas   You gotta have a fiddle in the band      So he dusted off our boots   And put our cowboy 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-do   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 both 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 both faded love   And let's all dance   If we're gonna play in Texas   We gotta have a fiddle in the band
