Shooting Star (complete) - Bad Company
Johnny was a schoolboy When he heard his first Beatles song Love Me Do, I think it was And from then it didn't take him long Got himself a guitar Used to play every night Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit And everything's alright Don't you know? Johnny told his Mama, "Hey, Mama, I'm goin' away Gonna hit the big time Gonna be a big star someday" Mama came to the door With a teardrop in her eye Johnny said, "Don't cry, Mama Smile and wave goodbye" Don't you know? (Chorus) Don't you know that you are a shooting star Don't you know Don't you know Don't you know that you are a shooting star And all the world will love you just as long As long as you are Johnny made a record Went straight up to number one Suddenly everyone loved To hear him sing the song Watchin' the world go by Surprisin' it goes so fast Johnny looked around him and said, "Well, I made the big-time at last" Don't you know? Don't you know? (Chorus) A shooting star Johnny died one night, died in his bed bottle of whiskey, sleepin' tabletts by his head His life passed him by like a warm summer day if you listen to the wind, you can still har him play (Chorus)
