Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Nickels and dimes, memories and wine

She's on his mind once again

The same old stool, the same old fool

Played by the rules but didn't win

[PreChorus]

There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose

He tried forgettin' but he knows that it's no use

[Chorus]

He's got a fool hearted memory

It won't let him see that she walked out the door

He's got a fool hearted memory

And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more

[Verse 2]

She was his girl, his only world

That string of pearls that slipped away

A thousand dimes, a thousand times

He doesn't mind what they say

[PreChorus]

He fills the jukebox then plays the same old song

He fills his glass and then he turns her memory on

[Chorus]

But it's a fool hearted memory

It won't let him see that she walked out the door

He's got a fool hearted memory

He sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more

[Chorus]

He's got a fool hearted memory

It won't let him see that she walked out the door

He's got a fool hearted memory

He sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more
