Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore
It's gettin’ dark, it’s 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 my guns, put ‘em in the ground
I can't fire them anymore
That long black train is comin' down
And 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 pistol away from me
I can’t shoot it anymore
Yeah it’s gettin’ dark, it’s too dark to see
Yes, I feel like I'm knockin' on Heavеn's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on Heavеn's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door
Just like so many times before
Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door
Just like so many times before
