And the warden said
`He won`t need a cell
He has the key
There`s no harsher sentence
The man`s doin life
In the first degree`
Some people seek to set blame
Some just accept their part
And now you know why
Booker died of a broken heart
And the priest said
`I can take confession
But not the sin
The church is shelter
Not the faith
Son, that`s within`
Some people pray for fortune and fame
Some just play a part
And now you know why
Booker died of a broken heart
And the doctor said
`I can see you`re hurt
Just by lookin at you
Pain we can help
But for hurt
There`s nothin we can do`
Some people pick up the pieces
Some just leave them apart
And now you know why
Booker died of a broken heart
