[Verse 1]
Saturday night and the moon is out
Just a-shinin' over top of the pines
I'm headed on down to my baby's house
Gonna take her on a midnight ride
Down them backroads windin' up at a-Kickapoo Creek (Skinny dippin'!)
Dancin' and singin' to some good ol' boys like me (Here we go!)

[Chorus]
Baby, there's a (shooting star)
That one's for me and you
So hold me tight and make that wish and pray that it comes true
And I ain't sure of much but this I know (Help me out, now!)
I got a diamond in my pocket and my baby's got a heart of gold
(Here she goes!)

[Verse 2]
I brought along a little courage and a Coleman cooler
Just to help me out
My hands are shakin' like a Canebrake rattler
Nothin''s gonna save me now
Might as well jump in head first, lay it all on the line
Hell, what am I worried about, never gonna be a more perfect time

[Chorus]
'Cause baby, there's a shooting star
That one's for me and you
So, hold me tight and make that wish and pray that it comes true
And I ain't sure of much but this I know
Well, I got a diamond in my pocket and my baby's got a heart of gold
(Just the ladies, just the ladies, make some noise!)
[Bridge]
Well, I didn't have money for a Broadway show
But the crickets are singin' to the radio
And we got tickets on the very front row

[Chorus]
Say it, baby, there's a shooting star
That one's for me and you
So hold me tight and make that wish and pray that it comes true
And I ain't sure of much but this I know
Well, 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
Yeah, my baby's got a heart of gold
Yeah!
