Lyrics

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
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door, oh yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door, oh yeah, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
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
Let me hear you
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door, hey, hey, hey, yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door, uh-oh, uh-oh, oh-whoa-oh
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door, ooh-ooh, yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoo, yeah
This is it
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door
(Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door)
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door
(Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door
(Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door)
Hey, hey, yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door
Whoa, no, no, no, no, whoa-woah
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, oh-oh, yeah, yeah
All right, I gotta pick here that I found today
Size 80
Now, the Melodymaker
I think it was in Melodymaker that called us, "Weak AC/DC"
I ain't no Bon Scott but that's a Whole Lotta Rosie to me
