If you're gonna play in Texas you gotta have a fiddle in the band
D7 C D7
That lead guitar is hot but not for Lousiana Man
Em D7 C G
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

I remember down in Houston we were puttin' on a show
D7 C D7
When a cowboy in the back stood up and yelled Cotton-Eyed Joe
G D7 C G
He said we love what you're doing boys don't get us wrong
D7 G
There's just something missing in your song
repeat #1
G D7 C G
So we dusted off our boots and put our cowboy hats on straight
D7 C D7
Them Texans raised the roof when Jeff opened up his case
G D7 C G
You say y'all all wanna two-step you say ya wanna doe-si-doe
D7 G
Well here's a fiddling song before we go
Repeat #1 x2
G D7 C G
If you're gonna play in Texas you gotta have a fiddle in the band
D7 C D7
That lead guitar is hot but not for Lousiana Man
Em D7 C G
So rosin up that bow for Faded Love and let's all dance
D7 C G
If you're gonna play in Texas you gotta have a fiddle in the band
