[Pre-Chorus]
Ma, take this badge off of me
I can't use it any more
It is getting dark, too dark to see
Feel like I am knocking on heaven's door

[Chorus]
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door

[Verse]
Ma, take these guns away from me
I can't shoot them anymore
There's a long black cloud following me
Feels like I'm knocking on heaven's door

[Chorus]
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door

[Pre-Chorus]
Ma, take this badge off of me
I can't use it any more
It is getting dark, too dark to see
Feel like I am knocking on heaven's door
[Chorus]
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
