Lyrics Heart of Gold

Heart of Gold was inspired by Neil Youngs quest for inner truth and understanding. Despite being one of his most commercially successful songs, Young later expressed discomfort with its success, fearing it would lead him into a creative comfort zone. The track is notable for the backing vocals of James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt.

 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


 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


 Keep me searching for a heart of gold
 You keep me searching and I'm growin' old
 Keep me searching for a heart of gold
 I've been a miner for a heart of gold ahhhhhh
