Lyrics: [Intro] [Verse 1: Neil Young] 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 [Chorus: Neil Young] That keep me searchin' for a heart of gold And I'm getting old Keep me searchin' for a heart of gold And I'm getting old [Bridge] [Verse 2: Neil Young] I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line [Chorus: Neil Young] That keeps me searchin' for a heart of gold And I'm getting old Keeps me searchin' for a heart of gold And I'm getting old [Bridge] [Outro: Neil Young & The Stray Gators] Keep me searchin' for a heart of gold You keep me searchin' and I'm growing old Keep me searchin' for a heart of gold I've been a miner for a heart of gold
