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)
