I wanna live, I wanna give

I've been a miner for a heart of gold

It's these expressions I never give

Keeps me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old

They 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, its such a fine line,

That keeps me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old

It keeps me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old

Keeps me searching for a heart of gold,

Keeps me searching and I'm growing old

Keeps me searching for a heart of gold

I've been a miner for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.
