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?
