Mama, take this badge off me

I can't use it anymore.

It's gettin' dark, too dark to see

Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

[Chorus]

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Mama, put my guns in the ground

I can't shoot them anymore.

That long black cloud is comin' down

Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

[Chorus]

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
