Saturday night and the moon is out, just a shinin' over top of the pines
I'm headin' on down to my baby's house, gonna take her on a midnight ride
Down them backroads windin' up at a Kickapoo Creek
Dancin' and singin' to some good ol' boys like me
Baby, there's a shooting star,
That one's for me an' you
So, hold me tight, an' make that wish, an' pray that it comes true
Now, I ain't sure of much,
but this I know
I got a diamond in my pocket an' my baby's got a heart of gold
I brought along a little courage and Coleman cooler, just to help me out
My hands are shakin' like a canebrake rattler, nothin's gonna save me now
Might as well jump in head first, lay it all on the line
What am I worried 'bout? Never gonna be a more perfect time
'Cause baby, there's a shooting star,
That one's for me and you
So, hold me tight, make that wish, and pray that it comes true
Now, I ain't sure of much,
but this I know
I've got a diamond in my pocket and my baby's got a heart of gold
Well, I didn't have money for a Broadway show,
but the crickets are singin' to the radio
an' we've got tickets
on the very front row
(key change)
That one's for me an' you
So, hold me tight, an' make that wish, an' pray that it comes true
Now, I ain't sure of much,
But this I know
Well, I got a diamond in my pocket and my baby's got a heart of gold
I got a diamond in my pocket and my baby's got a heart of gold
My baby's got a heart of gold
