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