Knocking on Heaven's Door lyrics

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.

Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door

Thanks! ❤
