G Saturday night and the moon is out G Just shinin' over top of the pines G I'm headin' on down to my baby's house G Gonna take her on a midnight ride Em C G Down them backroads winding up at a Kickapoo Creek Em C D Dancin' and singin' to some good ol' boys like me Chorus: C D G Baby, there's a shooting star, C D G That one's for me and you. Em C So, hold me tight, make that wish, G D and pray that it comes true. C D G I ain't sure of much, Em D C But this I know - G D I got a diamond in my pocket and my baby's C got a heart of gold. I brought along a little courage and a Coleman cooler Just to help me out My hands are shaking like a Canebrake rattler Nothing's gonna save me now Might as well jump in head first, lay it all on the line What am I worrying 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 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 C G Well I didn't have money for a Broadway show, C G but the crickets are singing to the radio C and we got tickets D on the very front row.
