Mama take this badge off me
I can't wear it anymore
Getting dark too dark to see
Feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knockin' on heaven's door
Just like so many times before
Mama take these guns and bury them in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
Seen this long dark cloud comin' around
Feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Just like so many times before
Mama wipe this blood from my face
I can't see through it anymore
Got a long dark feelin' and it's hard to trace
But I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Just like so many times before
