Mama, take this badge off of me
I can’t use it anymore
It’s getting dark, too dark to see
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, wipe the blood from my face
I'm sick and tired of the war
Got a lone black feelin' and it's hard to trace
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, put my guns in the ground
I can’t shoot them anymore
That long black train is pullin' on down
Feel 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
I can’t use it anymore
It’s getting dark, too dark to see
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, wipe the blood from my face
I'm sick and tired of the war
Got a lone black feelin' and it's hard to trace
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, put my guns in the ground
I can’t shoot them anymore
That long black train is pullin' on down
Feel 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
