Mama, take this badge off of me.
I can`t use it anymore.
It`s gettin` dark, too dark to see.
I feel I`m knockin` on Heaven`s door.

Knock..knock..knocking on heaven's door... Knock..knock..knocking 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 I`m knockin` on Heaven`s door.

Knock..knock..knocking on heaven's door... Knock..knock..knocking on heaven's door...
Knock.. knock.. knockin` on Heaven`s door ...
