G 
Saturday night and the moon is out, just a shinin' over top of the pines 
    G 
I'm headin' on down to my baby's house, gonna take her on a midnight ride 
          Em                C                G 
Down them backroads windin' up at a Kickapoo Creek 
Em                          C                  D 
Dancin' and singin' to some good ol' boys like me
[Chorus]
N.C.              C   D    G 
Baby, there's a shooting star, 
               C  D   G 
That one's for me an' you 
    Em                 C                   G                  D 
So, hold me tight, an' make that wish, an' pray that it comes true 
              C    D  G 
Now, I ain't sure of much, 
    Em   D C 
but this I know 
        G                           D                       C 
I got a diamond in my pocket an' my baby's got a heart of gold

           G 
I brought along a little courage and Coleman cooler, just to help me out 
    G 
My hands are shakin' like a canebrake rattler, nothin's gonna save me now 
              Em                  C                 G 
Might as well jump in head first, lay it all on the line 
          Em                         C                 D 
What am I worried 'bout? Never gonna be a more perfect time
[Chorus]
                         C   D    G 
'Cause baby, there's a shooting star, 
               C  D   G 
That one's for me and you 
    Em             C                   G                  D 
So, hold me tight, make that wish, and pray that it comes true 
              C    D  G 
Now, I ain't sure of much, 
    Em   D C 
but this I know 
           G                           D                      C 
I've got a diamond in my pocket and my baby's got a heart of gold

[Bridge]
        C                       G 
Well, I didn't have money for a Broadway show, 
        C                           G 
but the crickets are singin' to the radio 
    Cadd9 
an' we've got tickets 
                  D 
on the very front row
(key change)

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