Saturday night and the Moon is out
Just shinin' over top of the pines
I'm headin' on down to my baby's house
Gonna take her on a midnight ride
Now I'm on these backroads winding down to Kickapoo Creek
Dancin' and singin' to some good ol' boys like me

Baby, there's a shooting star
That was for me and you
So, hold me tight, 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

I brought along a little courage
and coleman cooler just to help me out
My hands are shaking like 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

Cause baby, there's a shooting star
That was 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

Well I didn't have money for a Broadway show
But the crickets are singing to the radio
And we got tickets, on the very front porch

Baby, there's a shooting star
That was 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

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