Mama take this badge from me
I cant use it anymore
Is getting dark to dark to see
Feels like i'm knockin on heavens door
Knockin, knockin, knockin on heavens door
Knockin, knockin, knockin on heavens door
Knockin, knockin, knockin on heavens door
Knockin, knockin, knockin on heavens door
Mama put um guns in ground
I can't shoot them anymore
A cold black cloud is comin down
Feels like i'm knockin on heavens door
Knockin, knockin, knockin on heavens door
Knockin, knockin, knockin on heavens door
Knockin, knockin, knockin on heavens door
Knockin, knockin, knockin on heavens door
Knockin, knockin, knockin on heavens door
Knockin, knockin, knockin on heavens door
Knockin, knockin, knockin on heavens door
Knockin, knockin, knockin on heavens door
