Shooting Star Lyrics - Singles - Golden Smog

Johnny was a school boy when he heard his first Beatles song 

Love me do, I think it was and from there it didnt take him long 

Got himself a guitar, used to play every night 

Now hes in a rock 'n' roll outfit, and everythings all right 

Dont you know 

Johnny told his momma, "Hey momma Im goin away 

Im gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday" 

Momma came to the door with a tear drop in her eye 

Johnny said, "Dont cry momma smile and wave goodbye" 

Dont you know 

Dont you know that you are a shooting star 

Dont you know 

Dont 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 play the song 

Watching the world go by, surprisin it goes so fast 

Johnny looked around him and said 

"Hey, I made the big time at last" 

Dont you know 

Dont you know that you are a shooting star 

Dont you know 

Dont you know that you are a shooting star 

And all the world will love you just as long 

As long as you are 

Dont 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, sleepin tablets by his head 

Johnnys life passed him by like a warm summer day 

If you listen to the wind sometime you can still hear him play 

Dont you know 

Dont you know that you are a shooting star 

Dont you know, dont you 

Dont you know that you are a shooting star 

Dont you, dont you, dont you, dont you, don't you 

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na 

Na, na, na, na 

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na 

Na, na, na, na 

Dont you know that you are a shooting star 

Dont you, dont you, dont you, dont you 

Dont you, dont you, dont you, dont you, dont you know 

Dont you know that you are a, a shooting star 

Dont you know that you are a shooting star
