Bad Company - Shooting Star

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YEmC6cTXKY



johnny was a school boy when he heard his first beatles song
love me do, i think it was and from there it didn't take him long
got himself a guitar, used to play it every night
now he's in a rock & roll outfit, and everything's all right

don't you know?

johnny told his momma, hey momma i'm goin' away
i'm gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday
momma came to the door with a tear drop in her eye
johnny said, don't cry momma smile & wave goodbye

don't you know
don't you know that you are a shooting star
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
watching the world go by, surprisin' it goes so fast
johnny looked around him and said, hey, i made the big time at last

don't you know
don't you know that you are a shooting star
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

don't you know that you are a shooting star
shinin' on, way up there beyond the clouds
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 died one night, died in his bed
bottle of whiskey, sleepin' tablets by his head
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 that you are a shooting star
don't you know, don't you know
don't you know that you are a shooting star
don't you know . . .
don't you know that you are a shooting star
shinin' on down forever . . .
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 . . .
