Lyrics:

Mama, take this badge away from me
I don't need it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me 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 and bury them in the ground
For I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
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

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Can't you here me knockin'
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Oh Lord I'm knockin'
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
I am knockin'
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
