Mama, take this badge off of me,
I can't use it anymore
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see,
I feel like I'm knocking 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 away from me,
I can't shoot them anymore
That long black cloud is followin' me,
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
