Mama, take this badge off of me,
I can`t use it anymore.
It`s gettin` dark, too dark to see,
I feel like I`m knocking 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, take these guns away from me,
I can`t shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is followin` me,
I feel like I`m knockin` on heaven`s door.
