Mama take this badge off of me, I can't use it anymore
 It's getting dark, too dark to see
 And I feel 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
 
 Mama put my guns in the ground, I can't shoot them anymore
 A long black cloud is coming down
 And I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door, hey
 
 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
 
 Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
 Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
 Open up, open up, open up, open up, open up
 Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
 (open up for me)
 Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
 Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
 
 Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
 It's gettin' dark, to dark to see
 (open up, open up, open up, open up...for me)
