Lyrics
Nickels and dimes
Memories and wine
She's on his mind once again
The same ol' stool
The same ol' fool
Played by the rules but didn't win
There's an old love
In his heart that he can't lose
He'd try forgettin'
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
He sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more
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
He fills the jukebox
And plays that same old song
He fills his glass
And then he turns her memory on
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
Memories and wine
She's on his mind once again
The same ol' stool
The same ol' fool
Played by the rules but didn't win
There's an old love
In his heart that he can't lose
He'd try forgettin'
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
He sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more
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
He fills the jukebox
And plays that same old song
He fills his glass
And then he turns her memory on
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
