Clerks movie - Shooting Star lyrics

rate me

Song by Golden Smog<br /><br>

Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatles song<br>

"Love me do" I think it was and from there it wouldn't take long<br>

got himself a guitar, he used to play it every night<br>

now he's in a rock and roll outfit everything is alright<br>

don't you know<br>

Johnny told his momma "hey momma, I'm going away<br>

gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday"<br>

momma came to the door with a teardrop in her eye<br>

Johnny said "don't cry momma smile and wave goodbye"<br>

don't you know<br>

don't you know that you are a shooting star<br>

don't you know<br>

don't you know that you are a shooting star<br>

and all the world will love you just as long<br>

as long as you are<br>

Johnny made a record, it went straight up to number one<br>

suddenly everyone loved to hear him play his song<br>

watching the world go by surprising it goes so fast<br>

Johnny looked around him and said "hey I made the big time at last"<br>

don't you know<br>

don't you know that you are a shooting star<br>

don't you know<br>

don't you know that you are a shooting star<br>

and all the world will love you just as long<br>

as long as you are<br>

don't you know that you are a shooting star<br>

and all the world will love you just as long<br>

as long as you are<br>

Johnny died one night, died in his bed<br>

bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head<br>

Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day<br>

if you listen to the wind sometimes you can still hear him play<br>

don't you know<br>

don't you know that you are a shooting star<br>

don't you know, don't you<br>

don't you know that you are a shooting star<br>

don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you know<br>

don't you know that you are a shooting star<br>

don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you know<br>

don't you know you are a shooting, a shooting star<br>

don't you know you are a shooting star<br>

<br>
