Diamond In My Pocket

(album: A Different Day - 2011)

Saturday night and the moon is out
Just shining over top of the pines
I'm heading on down to my baby's house
Gonna take her on a midnight ride
Now I'm on these backroads winding down to Kickapoo Creek
Dancing and singing 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 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

Cause baby, there's a shooting star,
That was 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.

Well I didn't have money for a Broadway show but the crickets are singing to the radio.
And we got tickets, on the very front porch.

Baby, there's a shooting star,
That was 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.

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