mama, take this badge over me
i can't use it anymore
it's gettin' dark, too dark to see
i feel like i'm 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
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door


mama, take these guns away from me
i can't use them anymore
there's a long black cloud followin' me
i feel like i'm 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
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door


mama, take this badge over me
i can't use it anymore
it's gettin' dark, too dark to see
i feel like i'm 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
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
