Mama, take this badge from me

I can't use it anymore

It's getting dark, too dark to see

Feels like I'm knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door

Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah

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

That cold black cloud is coming down

Feels like I'm knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door

Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah

Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door

(You just better start sniffing

your own rank subjugation, Jack

'Cause it's just you against your tattered libido

The bank and the mortician, forever, man

And it wouldn't be luck

if you could get out of life alive)

Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door

Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah

(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

(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
