Fool Hearted Memory

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'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 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 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 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
