Shooting Star
Johnny was a school boy
When he heard his first Beatle song
"Love me too", I think it was
And from there it didn't take him long
Got himself a guitar
He used to play.... everynight
Now he's in a rock n' roll outfit
And everything alright, don't you know
Johnny told his momma
Hey! momma, I'm going away
I'm gonna hit the big time
Gonna be a big star someday, yeah
Mamma come to the door
With a teardrop in her eye
Johnny said, don't cry momma
Smile and wave goodbye
Don't you know, yeah, yeah
*Don't you know that you
You are a shooting star
Well, don't you know
(whoo, yeah) don't you know
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
Johnny made a record
Want straight up to number one
Suddenly everyone loved
To hear him sing his song
Watching the world go by
Surprising it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and said
Well! I made the big times, at last
Don't you know, now don't you know
(Repeat*)
A shooting star (repeat *)
Johnny died one night, died in his bed
A bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his bed
Johnny' life casting by like a warm summer
