Alabama – If You’re Gonna Play In Texas

Alabama: If You're Gonna Play In Texas Lyrics

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.

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 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-stepm say ya wanna doe-si-doe
Well, here’s a 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 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…
