Mama take this badge from me,
I can't use it any more,
It's getting dark, too dark to see,
Feels 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 my gun in the ground,
I can't shoot them any more,
That long black cloud is coming down,
Feels 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, ooh yeah
Knock, knock knocking on heaven's door.

yeah, yeah yeah
yeah, yeah yeah
