[Verse 1]
Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark, too dark to see
And I feel I'm knocking on Heaven's door

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That long black cloud is coming down
And I feel I'm knocking on Heaven's door
Hey

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Ah, knock, knock, knocking on Heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on Heaven's door
(Hopin' I'm, hopin' I'm, hopin' I'm, hopin' I'm, hopin')
Knock, knock, knocking on Heaven's door (Yeah)
Knock, knock, knocking on Heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on Heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on Heaven's door
(It's getting dark, too dark to see)
(Hopin' I'm, hopin' I'm, hopin' I'm, hopin' I'm, hopin')
Knock, knock, knocking on Heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on Heaven's door
