Intro
Verse 1
Mamma take this badge off-a me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark, too dark to see
Feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Chorus
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
Verse 2
Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That long black cloud is comin' down
I Feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Chorus
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
Outro
Enjoy
