Ma, take this badge off me
I can't use it any more
It's gettin' dark
Too dark for me to see
I feel like 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

Ma, take these guns away from me
I can't shoot them any more
There's a along black cloud following me

I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

(* Repeat)
