"Shooting Star" by Bad Company video

Artist: Bad Company Title: "Shooting Star" Album: Straight Shooter Track: 04 Released: April 12, 1975 Distributed by: Swan Song Records Duration (Length): 0:06:19.17 --------------------------------------- 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 I'm 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......Yeah...... [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 his 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 X3] Johnny died one night, died in his bed Bottle of whisky, 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. [Chorus til fade]
