That line never made sense to me, followed by:

That steel guitar is hot
But not for a Louisiana man

They’re referencing the Doug Kershaw song Louisiana Man.

There’s no “a”

It’s just but not for Louisiana Man

Louisiana Man is an older country song they were referencing

Many bands in Texas back then had fiddles but I also think it was a reference to Bob Wills beacuse they sing "rosin up that bow for Faded Love and lets all dance"

It’s “lead guitar,” not “steel guitar.”

And as it’s been said, Louisiana Man is a song, not a person.

The fiddle is used in a lot in Texas songs, Cotton eyed Joe and others. LOUISIANA MAN is a song that a fiddle is a necessary but the steel guitar is not used.

It’s “lead”, not steel.
