VERSE:
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
BRIDGE:
Don't you know?
VERSE:
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 & wave goodbye
CHORUS:
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
VERSE:
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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/bad_company/shooting_star.html ]
CHORUS:
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
(guitar solo)
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
Johnny's 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 you are a shooting star
(improvise)

I think it represents the price one must pay for a life of stardom... The rise and fall of a shooting star.

I think it means that you can reach any goal you want as long as you works towards it but, you can't let yourself get too caught up it success.

Johnny made his fame... He was a shooting star... He just didn't know quite how to cope with it... It all went to fast, just as johnny did. Good song!!!

I think it means that if you drink and drug too much, it will kill you.

This is an amazing song, johnny had a dream to make it big, i think he made it to a place in his rock n roll career that wasnt quite as far as he wanted to go. Sex, drugs, and rock n roll, and the drugs took him. He overdosed in his sleep

You can be successful, but success by itself does not necessarily mean success in life.
