Tekst piosenki 'Shooting Star' wykonawcy Bon Jovi

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 & roll outfit, and everything's all right
Don't you know?

Johnny told his momma, he said 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 & say goodbye
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?
And all the world is gonna love you just as long
As long as you are

Johnny made a record, went straight up to number one
Suddenly everybody wanted to hear him sing the song
Watching the world go by, surprisin' it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and said, I made the big time at last
Don't you know, oh yeah

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 is gonna love you just as long
As long as you are, yeah, yeah

That's right, yeah

Johnny died one night, died in his bed
Bottle of whiskey, sleepin' tablets in his head
Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day (warm summer day)
When you listen to the wind, you can still hear him play
Don't you know, oh yeah

Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know?
