mama,take this badge off of me
i carn't use it anymore.
i'ts gettin dark too dark to see
i feel i'm knockin on heavens door

knock,knock,knockin on heavens door
knock,knock,knockin on heavens door
knock,knock,knockin on heavens door
knock,knock,knockin on heavens door

mama,put my guns in the ground
i carn't shoot them anymore
that long black cloud is comin down
i feel i'm knockin on heavens door

knock,knock,knockin on heavens door
.......
