Shooting Star (Live at the Summit, Houston, Texas - 23rd May 1977) - 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?

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

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?

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 died one night, died in his bed

Bottle of whiskey, sleeping 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 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 that you are a shooting star?
