Lyrics

Knockin' On Heaven's Door

Mama, take this badge off of me, I can't use 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

Mama, put my guns in the ground, I can't shoot them anymore

That long black cloud is comin' down

I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
