  • 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 can't lose
    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
    He sits patiently
    Here every night so it can fool him more

    She was his girl
    His only whirl
    That string of pearls that slipped away
    A thousand dimes
    A thousand times
    He doesn't 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 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
    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 Writer/s: Blake Mevis, Byron Hill
