Mama take this badge off of me
 I can't use it anymore
 It's getting too dark, too dark to see
 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 bury my guns down in the ground 
 I can't use them anymore
 That long black cloud is coming down
 I feel I'm 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
 Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
