Harry Connick Jr Booker Lyrics

Booker Lyrics

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
