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. 
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold 
And I'm getting old. 

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 
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold 
And I'm getting old. 
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 for a heart of gold 
And I'm getting old. 
I've been a miner for a heart of gold.
