Fool Hearted Memory - George Strait

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

There’s an old love in his heart that he cain’t loose

He tried forgetting but he knows that it’s no use

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

She was his girl

His only world

That string of pearls it slipped away

A thousand dimes

A thousand times

He doesn’t mind what they say

He fills a jukebox

And plays that same old song

He fills his glass and turns her memory on

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

And he sits patiently

Here every night so it can fool him more

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
