alabama lyrics


If you're gonna play in texas (you gotta have a fiddle in the band)
(dan mitchell/murray kellum)

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
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 "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
You say y'all all wanna two-step
You say ya wanna doe-si-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 "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 "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
