Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Eyes of Texas are upon you
The eyes of Texas are upon you
[Verse 2]
If you 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 gonna play in Texas
You gotta have a fiddle in the band
[Verse 3]
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"
[Verse 4]
If you 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 gonna play in Texas
You gotta have a fiddle in the band
[Verse 5]
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 you wanna do-si-do
Well here's your fiddlin' song before we go
[Verse 6]
If you 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 gonna play in Texas
You gotta have a fiddle in the band
[Verse 7]
If you 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 gonna play in Texas
You gotta have a fiddle in the band
[Verse 8]
If you 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 gonna play in Texas
You gotta have a fiddle in the band
