One of Neil Young’s biggest and most successful songs, released in 1972 from the Harvest album, the first Canadian artist’s album to top the Billboard 200. James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt are part of the backup vocals. Though Bob Dylan liked Young, he disliked this song, claiming “…if it sounds like me, it should be me”.
<< Heart Of Gold Song Lyrics >>
[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
