He said, "We love what you're doing, boys, don't get us wrong; There's just something missing 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 raise the roof when Jeff opened up his case We say, "Y'all all want a two-step, you say you want a do-si-do Well, here's a fiddlin' song before we go...."
