Mama,take this badge off me.
I can't use it anymore.
It's getting dark, too dark to see.
Feels 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 comin' down.
Feels 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 wipe the blood off of my face.
I can't see through it anymore.
I need someone to talk to, and a new hiding place.
Feels 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 !
Knock-knock-knocking' on heaven's door !
Knock-knock-knocking' on heaven's door !
I'm knocking on heaven's door!
