Shooting Star (Alternate Take) - Bad Company

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

Don't you know that you are a shooting star

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 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

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
