Nickels and dimes memories and wine She's on his mind once again The same ole stool the same ole 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 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 that same ole song He fills his glass and then he turns her memory on
