Текст (слова) песни: John Denver - The Chosen Ones
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the Different Directions album, and has also been released on The John Denver Collection - Rocky Mountain High album. I heard how all the lights went out in Memphis On the death night anniversary of the king The pretenders talking dirty in the palace But it doesn`t have that old familiar ring
I see there`s been some changes in the valley All the renegades have finally settled down Now they worship in the temples of their rivals And desecrate the holy heart of town
Can`t you hear all those sweet voices singing Takin` care of the chosen ones Can`t you hear all those mission bells ringin` Say a prayer for the chosen ones
I read they`re pourin` oil on troubled waters Yet they cast a giant shadow on the land Let`s spend another night across the border And bury all our secrets in the sand
Now they claim there is a message in the Bible They swear there is no master and his slave But the future`s lookin` dim for the lonesome cowboy When the hand that rocks that cradle digs the grave
Words by Nick Smith, Music by and Joe Camilleri
