Puddle Of Mud - Shooting Star
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
