Mama, take this badge off of me   I can't use it anymore.   It's gettin' dark, much 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, 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      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, wipe the blood from my face   I'm sick and tired of the war   Don't know if it's night or if it's the sun rising high   Scared of 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
