George Harvey Strait (born May 18, 1952) is an American country music artist. George Strait has marked a monumental career achievement by having more number one hit singles than any living artist, a total of 52, second only to the late Conway Twitty. Out of all the new country singers to emerge in the early '80s, George Strait stayed the closest to traditional country. Drawing from both the honky tonk and Western swing traditions, Strait didn't refashion the genres; instead, he revitalized them for a new decade. In the process, he became one of the most popular and influential singers of the decade, sparking a wave of neo-traditionalist singers from Randy Travis and Dwight Yoakam to Clint Black, Garth Brooks, and Alan Jackson.

George Strait
Nickels and dimes
Memories and wines
Shes on his mind once again
The same old fool
The same old stool
Played by the rules but didnt win
Theres an old love in his heart that he cant lose
He tried forgetting but he knows that its no use
Chorus:
Hes got a fool hearted memory
That wont let him see
That she walked out the door
Hes got a fool hearted memory
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 doesnt 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
Chorus
