Songtexte Shooting Star (Live) - Paul Rodgers

This next one is called shooting star
You can join him with that one too, ok

When 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? (Now wait a minute)

Johnny told his mama, "Hey, Mama, I'm goin' away"
I'm gonna hit the big time, I'm 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 good-bye'

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?
And all the world will love you just as long, as long as you are

When Johnny made a record, went straight up to number one
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing the song, yeah
Watching 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 know, that you are a shooting star? (Shinning on, somewhere way up there)
Don't you know, that you are a shooting star
And all the world will love you just as long as you are, hey!

Don't you know that you are a shooting star (shinning on, somewhere way up there)
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
And all the world will love you just as long, as long you are

Well, well oh, well, well, well my friends my story near have an end now
I'm gonna sing this song, but I want you all to sing along
Manchester, I'm going to sing a song, but I want you all to sing along
Are you ready now? (Try again, once more) are you ready now? (Yeah)
That's pretty good

Well Johnny died one night, died in his bed
A 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

Don't you know? (Don't you know?) Everybody
Don't you know that you are a shooting star? (Whoo!) Don't you know? (I know)
Don't you know? (Whoo) don't you know, that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know? (That is so good) don't you know? (Let's do it again, c'mon)

Don't you know, that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know? Don't you know? (Last one)
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know? (I will love y'all)

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na na, na, na, na, na, na

Can I hear that one more time?
Please, can I have the guitar, I got to enjoy it?

Yeah, don't you know that you are a shooting star? Shinning on, somewhere when you're there
Don't you, know that you are a shooting star
And all the world will love you just as long, as long you are, a shooting star
Whoo, thank you, excellent singing
