George Strait - Fool Hearted Memory Lyrics
Nickels and dimes, memories and wines - 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 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 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, and 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.

George Strait Fool Hearted Memory Comments
Any 90s babies kicking to this song in the whome
A lot might disagree but this was George Straight at his absolute best. It would be hard pressed to beat this song in his insane career. Love this song and how his voice sounded then at that age, also the music in the 80s was so much different instrument wise. A true gem of a song, and all of us men can relate to this song at least once in our lifes.
I’m only a thirteen year old who absolutely loves George Strait. Most of my friends don’t know who he is. Most of my friends don’t have a relative with 120 acres of land with cows and a farm. It’s sad what teenagers do all the time. I’m lucky to know what true happiness is , thank Jesus for George Strait! He brings out the best in me
To busy singing with one
my all time favorite Strait song. Top ten of all time in any genre by anyone. LOVE IT.
🤞💯💖

It was so much fun being 20 something in the 80’s....
Pamela Tipton...........I will NEVER get over you.
King George
Texas proud
I know she ran out the Goddamn door because she was Brainwashed with that Goddamn Herion that ELTON JOHN stuck her with as a little child In Unsolved Mysteries Kodak girl after he Killed her Father in a Drug deal gone bad in Lafayette Louisiana in the 80's
💖💖💖💖
This is a great song!!!! Sitting under the stars listening to this when the moon is full & bright.... best night ever
my favorite song of all time
Im 34. I grew up with George on the radio. When my kids are in trouble and grounded from everything, my old George Straight cds are the only thing that has unlimited accessibility.
Dad, she is not coming back like ever!
I love this man so cool he should be a MEXICAN!!!!!!!
George is just Mister cool
Just a correction but not sure if it's relevant or what charts your referencing Winston. But supposedly he had 5 more #1's and was at 61 by 2009 saw u posted 2011 just something to think about ...ether way way above #2 Conway whose also Fantastic!
Am I the only one still listening to this in 2019
No I'm definitely listening. I can't stop listening to 'heartache medication' by John Pardi. Reminds me so much of this song.
Nope..lm here..
Loves me this good old country song...!
Amazing.
George Strait's first #1 song and it's still my favorite. Not just my favorite by GS but my all time favorite.
I don't listen to today's so called country music!...
What the hell is wrong with people that there are not more recent comments praising this great song, and artist?
George’s songs hits the nail on the head every time... 💕
Very difficult to pick a "favorite " song by the King of Country... but this song definitely in top 5.
Grew up on this stuff, man the years flew bye. But at least the 80's had some kick ass music, not the garbage coming out of trashville now...
That’s me
love it one of my faorites
Every time I hear this song, I get tears in my eyes. Anyone else? No? Okay.
What was he 21???
This is Country music at its Best any George Strait Song is Country Music at its Best
Quit talking about me!😭
She was my girl... My only world 😔😩
this is one of my favorites!
Listening to this song late night in san antonio texas in my corvette best time of my life
Awesome song
Nichols and dimes due add up to a fool hearted memory
He sits patiently...
What's up, my fellow heartbroken motherfuckers?
King of country never get tired of listening to George Strait. Today's country's sucks
This is one of those songs that if you're already a little depressed about something might push you over the edge.
8 years ago today!!!!
This yesss 💯
Even in 2019 this song is a straight banger
Jordan Vandiver ohhellyea
Yeah I couldn't win for loosing every time Hum???
George strait will always be my favorite country singer!! His music is best country to ever be created in my opinion!! 💜💯
80s and 90s country is the best!
George strait is the most purest humble loving music artist ever you never hear about him being in any drama his music is so beautiful could George strait get more perfect than this?
He tried forgettin.. but he knows that it's no use... There at that spot right now.
George Strait’s first 3 albums are so phenomenal.
Jennifer you did as exactly as i told you too. You didnt even fight to fix it. Here I am seven months later, finding out you are living with someone else already. And i still love you.
Hang tight bud. You're not alone. Lost my girl after 3 yrs and think about her all the time. The whole 1000 questions going thru your mind at once type stuff. Just wish I could forget but I can't. But you're not alone.
When I was little I thought he was saying pool party memory
Boy, was George Strait young when this song came out! Just look at that picture!😊💒
Full Heart Momory
Well... Broken heart, cold beer and a fool hearted memory. My love of 6 yrs is now over just like that. I hope everyone else the best and be careful who you let hold your heart because you dont know if they will eventually drop it or hold it close to theirs.
I understand, I just lost a relationship of 23 years, I'm broken 😭😭😭💔💔
Im going through the same thing how can people be so crule in this world when you gave them your all......
George for Pres!!!
Love this. GS aways reminded me of Merle Haggard.
You are the best singer ever I’ve ever heard me and my dad listen to your music videos every morning and at night.
I was a year old. Oh the hard times liquor and memories of this song..
80's Country the BEST
The KING OF COUNTRY MUSIC
My Heart got Faded once!!!!
I like George strait but I like Hank and Waylon more
My favorite song
Outstanding !!!
The thing that SUCKS about this song is its only 2 mins long👎
You know. Everybody has a purpose in life and I reckon George found his. I will argue with him about me being from Georgia and him being from Texas. He’s proud of his state but no damn prouder than I am of mine!
That I have left memories of you. I miss you LMS
My papa played this in the bar with his wife and his ex was in the bar to🤦♂️🤦♂️
I love old country music not this new stuff on the radio and I'm 12
Great country, before politics came in and fd it all up
King George!!The Best!!
