Lyrics:
She was born in Manhattan he grew up near SpokaneHe found her sittin' by the side of the roadHer long hair shining like that black Texas goldThey had nothing in common cept the need to move onSo they headed for someone further along[ mandolin ]Dust devils were spinning out across the fieldsThat bridge was a burning underneath their wheelsThat old muddy river was just a running wild for thatWestern boy and a sweet yankee childShe was more of a woman than any girl he ever knewHe had no idea what his world was coming toLove needs a fool how bout you how bout youLove needs a fool how about you girlOld white picket fences by the side of the roadHanging on broken hinges too weak to take the loadJust like that old farm boy when he wrapped her in his armsHe knew he'd never hold her long enough to tame that young girl's heartBut he loved her with a fever that went way across the lineBy the time that she sun was high she was holding on through the tears shecriedLove needs a fool how bout you how bout youLove needs a fool how about you babeYou gotta be fool enough to believe in love if you want to believe in you/[ guitar ]Love needs a fool...[ fiddle - guitar - mandolin ]
