Mama, take this badge up 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, wipe the blood from my face I'm sick and tired of the war Got that old black feeling and it's out to trace Feels like I'm knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door ...
Mama, put my guns in the ground I can't shoot them any more Heaven's old black train is a-pullin' on down Feels like I'm knocking on heaven's door
