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?
