Love Needs A Fool

She lives for the thunder, he lives for the rain

She was born in Manhattan, he grew up near Spokane

He found her sitting by the side of the road

Her long hair shining like that black Texas gold

They had nothing in common 'cept the need to move on

So they headed for somewhere further along

Dust devils were spinning out across the fields

That bridge was a burning underneath their wheels

That old muddy river was just running wild

For that western boy and a sweet Yankee child

She was more of a woman than any girl he ever knew

He had no idea what his world was coming to

Love needs a fool

How 'bout you, well, how 'bout you?

Love needs a fool

How about you, girl?

Old white picket fences by the side of the road

Hanging on broken hinges, too weak to take the load

Just like that old farm boy when he wrapped her in his arms

He knew he'd never hold her long enough

To tame that young girl's heart

But he loved her with a fever that went way across the line

By the time the sun was high she was holding on

Through the tears she cried

Love needs a fool

How 'bout you, how 'bout you?

Love needs a fool

How about you, babe?

You gotta be fool enough to believe in love

If you want love to believe in you

Love needs a fool

How 'bout you, well, how 'bout you?

Love needs a fool

How about you, babe, how 'bout you?
