If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
     A              E                D         E
That lead guitar is hot but not for "Louisiana Man"

I remember down in Houston we were puttin' on a show
       A             E                 D                    E
When a cowboy in the back stood up and yelled, "Cotton-Eyed Joe"!
             A                E      D                 A
He said, "We love what you're doin', boys don't get us wrong
A                      E               A
There's just somethin' missin' in your songs"

Verse 2:
      A              E                 D              A
So we dusted off our boots and put our cowboy hats on straight
     A                 E              D             E
Them Texans raised the roof when Jeff opened up his case
              A         E             D                  A
You say y'all all wanna two-step, you say ya wanna do-si-do
      A                    E              A
Well, here's your fiddlin' song before we go
