Fool Hearted Memory Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose
He tried forgetting, but he knows that it's no use
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
He fills the jukebox, then plays the same old song
He fills his glass and then he turns her memory on
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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

George Strait was born on May 18, 1952. Hailing from Texas, this legendary country musician graced the world with his magical voice. Yet there was a time when he was rejected by every music label. He only continued singing because his wife convinced him to stay another year, in which he was discovered his hallmark is his musical style — a perfect blend of the western swing and honky-tonk — coupled with an unadorned yet alluring exterior: blue jeans, a western shirt, and a cowboy hat (classic!).
2012: The Cowboy Rides Away Tour
Tickets for his last tour, The Cowboy Rides Away Tour, sell out within hours and Strait retires from touring thereafter.
So, what better way to pay homage to this artist than to celebrate his special day together …
