Bad Company - 07 - Shooting Star
Johnny was a school boy when he heard his first Beatles song
Love me do, I think it was from there it didn't take him long
He got himself a guitar, learned to play it every night
Now he's in a rock and roll outfit, and everything's all right
Don't you know? Oh yeah
Johnny told his momma, hey momma I'm going away
I'm gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday
And momma came to the door with a teardrop in her eye
Johnny said, "Don't cry momma" and smiled and waved goodbye
Don't you know? Don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know? Oh
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
And all the world is going to love you just as long
As long as you are, yeah
Johnny made a record, went straight up to number one
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing the song
You're watching the world go by, surprising it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and said, "Hey, I made the big time at last"
Don't you know? Woah
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know? Woah yeah
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?

Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
And all the world is going to love you just as long
As long as you are, yeah oh
Johnny died one night, died in his bed
Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head
Yeah, Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day
If you listen to the wind, you can still hear him play
Don't you know? Don't you know?
