Heart of Gold fue inspirada por la búsqueda de Neil Young de la verdad y comprensión interna. A pesar de ser uno de sus mayores éxitos comerciales, Young expresó más tarde su incomodidad con el éxito de la canción, temiendo que lo llevara a una zona de confort creativa. La pista destaca por los coros de James Taylor y 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 ************************************
