Mama take this badge off me
I can't use it any more
It's getting dark, too dark to see
Feel I'm knocking 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
Knock, knock knockin' on heaven's door

Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them any more
That long black cloud is coming down
I feel like I'm knocking 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
Knock, knock knockin' on heaven's door
