If You Haven't Played In Texas (Then You Haven't Played The Blues) - Lyrics - Access Denied

We played this club in Richmond And we rocked the joint all night I was feelin' kinda cocky He took some time to set me right He said I see you've got some mileage I can see you've paid some dues But if you haven't played in Texas You haven't played the blues So we shared a round of whiskey As the bar was closin' down He spoke to me of Dallas And described Deep Ellum's sound I listened to his reasons And I heard the ring of truth (when he said) If you haven't played in Texas You haven't played the blues So I changed my way of thinkin' Convinced the band to make the rounds Houston, Austin Fort Worth, Dallas Learned to play that Lone Star sound And that night in Amarillo Where the harp man called the tunes 'Cause if you haven't played in Texas You haven't played the blues
