Shooting Star Bad Company

Below you'll find the Shooting Star Bad Company lyrics and my partial version acoustic demo.

Shooting Star was never released as a single but did appear on the 1975 Straight Shooter album. The song talks about artists who make it and then dont survive .. like Hendrix and Joplin.

--- Start Of Shooting Star Bad Company Lyrics ---


Johnny was a school boy ... when he heard his first Beatles song
Love Me Do, I think it was and from there it didn't take him long
Got himself a guitar ... used to play every night
Now he's in a rock and roll outfit ... and everything's all right
Don't you know?

Johnny told his Momma ... hey Momma I'm goin' away
I'm 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, don't cry Momma ... smile and wave goodbye

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 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

Don't you know that you are a shooting star
don't you know ... woah 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

BREAK

Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know ... ahhh
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 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 you can still hear him play

Woah...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 ... don't you know
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 ... that you are ... a shooting star
Woah...
Na na na na ...
