I took the train to Roosevelt
Went down to Brooklyn on the L
Came to the city to find myself
But what I found was something else
I always wondered what they say
When people drop you off and drive away
I reached my destination safe
but is my name up for debate?
whoa, this is sweeter then I imagined it could be
whoa, cause now I know for sure
You've got a heart of gold
I know a lot has changed since then
but our Father's fathers were such stand up men
they and their families had their friends
but still they had to work to keep them fed
but then I take a look at us
sometimes we take it for granted
don't know how to trust
anybody cause of what we see on our big old tv screens
and he I am preaching and you cant always count on me
but then I turn around
so slow and see you standing behind me
there you were
if I had felt for sure
You've got a heart of Gold
