 Mama, take this badge off of me
Cause I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark, too dark to see
I 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 that gun to the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
There's a long black cloud coming on down
I 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
