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?
