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.
