Shooting Star Lyrics - 10 From 6 - Bad Company

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 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, yeah, yeah 

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 

Watching 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 

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, yeah 

And all the world will love you just as long 

As long as you are, a shooting star 

(guitar solo) 

Don't you know that you are a shooting star 

Don't you know, ahhh 

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 

Photos 

If you listen to the wind, you can still hear him play 

Woah... 

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 

Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you know 

Don't you know you are a shooting star 

(improvise) 

Na, na, na, na.
