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
