[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
           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)

[Chorus]

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