Love Needs A Fool Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

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?
