(
Rodgers)
Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatles song"
Love me do" I think it was and from there it wouldn't take longgot himself a guitar, he used to play it every nightnow he's in a rock and roll outfit everything is alrightdon't you know
Johnny told his momma "hey momma, I'm going awaygonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday"momma came to the door with a teardrop in her eye
Johnny said "don't cry momma smile and wave goodbye"don't you knowdon't you know that you are a shooting stardon't you knowdon't you know that you are a shooting starand all the world will love you just as longas long as you are
Johnny made a record, it went straight up to number onesuddenly everyone loved to hear him play his songwatching the world go by surprising it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and said "hey I made the big time at last"don't you knowdon't you know that you are a shooting stardon't you knowdon't you know that you are a shooting starand all the world will love you just as longas long as you aredon't you know that you are a shooting starand all the world will love you just as longas long as you are
Johnny died one night, died in his bedbottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head
Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer dayif you listen to the wind sometimes you can still hear him playdon't you knowdon't you know that you are a shooting stardon't you know, don't youdon't you know that you are a shooting stardon't you, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you knowdon't you know that you are a shooting stardon't you, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you knowdon't you know you are a shooting, a shooting stardon't you know you are a shooting star
