Mama, take this badge away from me 
I don't need  it anymore. 
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see 
I feel like 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, take these guns and bury them in the ground 
For I can't shoot them anymore. 
That long black cloud is comin' down 
I feel like 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 

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door 
Can't you here me knockin' 
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door 
Oh Lord I'm knockin' 
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door 
I am knockin' 
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
