If You're Gonna Play In Texas (You Gotta Have A Fiddle In The Band)
(DanMitchell/Murray Kellum)

If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have afiddle in the band

That lead guitar is hot but not for "Louisiana Man"
Sorosin up that bow for "Faded Love" and let's all dance
If you're gonna playin Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band

I remember down in Houstonwe 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 uswrong
There's just somethin' missin' in your song"

If you're gonnaplay in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hotbut not for "Louisiana Man"
So rosin up that bow for "Faded Love" and let'sall dance
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in theband

So we dusted off our boots and put our cowboy hats onstraight
Them Texans raised the roof when Jeff opened up his case
You sayy'all all wanna two-step
You say ya wanna doe-si-doe
Well, here's yourfiddlin' song before we go

If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta havea fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot but not for "LouisianaMan"
So rosin up that bow for "Faded Love" and let's all dance
If you'regonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band

If you're gonnaplay in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hotbut not for "Louisiana Man"
So rosin up that bow for "Faded Love" and let'sall dance
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in theband
