G
Saturday night and the moon is out
G
Just shinin' over top of the pines
G
I'm headin' on down to my baby's house
G
Gonna take her on a midnight ride
           Em               C                  G
Down them backroads winding up at a Kickapoo Creek
Em                           C                  D
Dancin' and singin' to some good ol' boys like me

Chorus:
                  C  D     G
Baby, there's a shooting star,
                C D   G
That one's for me and you.
     Em             C
So, hold me tight, make that wish,
      G                 D
and pray that it comes true.
         C    D  G
I ain't sure of much,
     Em  D   C
But this I know -
         G                           D
I got a diamond in my pocket and my baby's
                C
got a heart of gold.

I brought along a little courage and
a Coleman cooler
Just to help me out
My hands are shaking like a Canebrake rattler
Nothing's gonna save me now
Might as well jump in head first, lay it
all on the line
What am I worrying about, never gonna be
a more perfect time

Chorus:
Cause baby, there's a shooting star
That one's for me and you
So, hold me tight and make that wish
and pray that it comes true
I ain't sure of much but this I know
I got a diamond in my pocket and my
baby's got a heart of gold

        C                        G
Well I didn't have money for a Broadway show,
          C                           G
but the crickets are singing to the radio
        C
and we got tickets
                   D
on the very front row.

Chorus

I got a diamond in my pocket and my baby's got
a heart of gold
