If You're Gonna Play In Texas (You Gotta Have a Fiddle In the Band)
Written by - Dan Mitchell & Murray Kellum
From - Roll On
If you're gonna play in Texas
You gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot
But not for 'Lousiana Man'
So resin 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 'Lousiana Man'
So resin 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 wanna two-step
You say you wanna doe see 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 'Lousiana Man'
So resin 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 'Lousiana Man'
So resin 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

Yee ha
Brr...
Oh, yeah
I bet
