Heart of Gold?
When I was just a boy, my mother told me more than once that prostitutes have hearts of gold. I expect this may have come from the fact that when she was growing up Grandpa owned a bar among other businesses, and he was a notorious womanizer and whore-monger. Perhaps as a child she was well treated by the women her dad associated with, and was left with a good impression. But is this old saw true?

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
I've never met a sex worker with a heat of gold. Some are worse than others, but they live in a different universe and their deity is money, which they acquire by both honest transactions and dishonest manipulation. Sort of like a Wall Street banker I suppose.
Yes, he is/was a great songwriter but whilst he was not a great singer his style matched his lyrics perfectly. I like his song 'Old Man' a lot.
