Heart of Gold foi inspirada pela busca de Neil Young pela verdade e compreensão interior. Apesar de ser um dos seus maiores sucessos comerciais, Young mais tarde expressou desconforto com o sucesso da música, temendo que isso o levasse a uma zona de conforto criativo. A faixa destaca-se pela harmonia vocal de James Taylor e 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 ************************************
