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 up at a 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 Cambridge rattler,
Nothing's gonna save me now
Mind as well jump in head first, lay it all on the line
What am I worrying about? Never gonna be a more perfect time
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.
(instrumental interlude)
Well I didnt have money for a broadway show,
but the crickets are singing to the radio
and we've got tickets-
on the very front row.
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.
