i want to live
i want to give
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
that keep me searching for a heart of gold
and i'm getting old

i've been to hollywood

i've been to hollywood
i've been to redwood
i crossed an 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
that keeps me searching for a heart of gold
that keeps me searching for a heart of gold, i said

i've been to hollywood
i've been to redwood
i crossed an 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
that keeps me searching for a heart of gold
that keeps me searching for a heart of gold

and i'm getting old
i said, i'm getting old
i said, i am getting old
i said, i am...
keeps me searching for a heart of gold
keeps me searching for a heart of gold
that keeps me searching for a heart of gold
keep me keep me keep me keep me
that keeps me searching for a heart of gold
keep me keep me keep me keep me
that keeps me searching for a heart of gold
that keeps me searching for a heart of gold
that keeps me searching for a heart of gold



Amos opted for Heart of Gold as her Neil Young interpretation, even though she personally favors other songs like The Needle and the Damage Done and Cinnamon Girl. She chose Heart of Gold specifically because her view of the song differs greatly from the vision many men have relayed to her. Some males have told Amos that they see the subject, an understanding wife, as someone who can be cheated on without remorse; Amos presents the subject as an ideal partner, one not to be mistreated. "It�s probably very difficult right now to find a heart of gold," she says.
