If You're Gonna Play In Texas (You Gotta Have A Fiddle In the Band) - Live

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 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
Oh, yeah

Way down in Alabama
We were puttin' on a show
When a cowboy in the back stood up
And yelled, "Cotton-Eyed Joe"
Said, "We love what you're doing
Now, boys, don't get us wrong
There's just something missing in your song"

If you're gonna play in Texas, hey
You gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot
But not for a 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
Say y'all all wanna two-step
Say you wanna do-si-do
Well, here's a fiddling song before Jeff goes

If you're gonna play in Texas, hey
You gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot
But not for a 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

If you're gonna play in Texas, hey
You gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot
But not for a 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

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 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

Are you still feeling good, Alabama?
