Lyrics of
Heart Of Gold

Heart of Gold, released in 1972, is among Neil Youngs most acclaimed songs. He was inspired to write the song following a near-death experience related to back issues. Young aimed to craft something heartfelt and genuine, musing on his search for love and comprehension. The inclusion of the harmonica, played by Young, and backing vocals by James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt added to its warm reception.

I want to live, I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
{Guitar solo}
I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood
I've crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
{Guitar solo}
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
