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

That lead guitar is hot but not for "Louisiana Man"

So rosin up that bow for "Faded Love" and let's all dance

He said, "We love what you're doin', boys don't get us wrong
A# F A#
There's just somethin' missin' in your songs"
[Chorus]
A# F D# A#
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
