Iced Earth Shooting Star Lyrics

Shooting Star Lyrics

Shooting Star

Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatles
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 and
roll outfit and everything's allright

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 some day"

Mama came to the door with a teardrop in
her eye

Johnny said, "Don't cry Mama, smile and wave goodbye"



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 his song

Watching the world go by, sometimes it
can go so fast

Johnny looked around him and said, "Damn I made the big
time at last"



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

A shooting star. . .



Johnny died one night, died in
his bed

Bottle o' whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head

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

And if you listen to the wind,
you can still hear him play



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

A shooting star. . .
