Chris LeDoux – 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 sittin’ 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 someone further along

[ mandolin ]

Dust devils were spinning out across the fields

That bridge was a burning underneath their wheels

That old muddy river was just a 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 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 that she 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 to believe in you

Love needs a fool…
