Mama take this badge off of me
I can’t use it anymore
It’s getting dark, too dark to see
Feels like I’m knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Mama put my guns in the ground
I can’t shoot them any more
There’s a long black train a comin’ down
Feels like I’m knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Mama wipe the blood from my face
I’m sick and tired of the war
There’s a lot of people feeling just like me
Feels like I’m knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
I’m knocking on heaven’s door
I’m knocking on heaven’s door
