Nickels and dimes
Memories and wine
Shes on his mind once again
The same old stool
The same old fool
Played by the rules but didnt win
Theres an old love in his heart, that he cant lose
Hed try forgettin, but he knows that its no use
Hes got a fool hearted memory
It wont let him see
That she walked out the door
Hes 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, that slipped away
A thousand dimes
A thousand times
He doesnt mind, what they say
He fills the jukebox, then plays the same old song
He fills his glass, and then he turns her memory on
But its a fool hearted memory
It wont let him see
That she walked out the door
Hes got a fool hearted memory
And he sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more
Hes got a fool hearted memory
It wont let him see
That she walked out the door
Hes got a fool hearted memory
And he sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more
