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
