Shooting Star - Paul Rodgers

Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatle song

'Love me do,' I think it was.

From there 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 all right, don’t you know?

Johnny told his mama, hey, 'Mama, I’m goin' away.

I’m gonna hit the big

Time, gonna be a big star someday', Yeah

Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye

Johnny said, 'Don't cry, mama, smile and wave good-bye'

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, surprising 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, oh, 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

Don’t you know that you are a shooting star, Don’t you know, yeah

Don’t you know that you are a shooting star, now

And all the world will love you just as long, As long you are you

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

Oh oh oh, Don’t you know that you are a shooting star

Don’t you know, yeah, don’t you know', Don’t you know that

You are a shooting star

Don’t you know, yeah

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, oh, yeah, you are

Yeah, a shooting star, yeah, oh

Oh oh oh oh…

Don’t you, don’t you know

That you are a shooting star

Don’t you don’t you know…
